dedicated to my aunt Dorothy - if you knew her, you know

lyrics

Dorothy

there’s a party going on all my friends are there
they look so beautiful out in the air
they all have shiny eyes
they look like move stars
I’m laying here in my bed
thinking about Dorothy

should I sit here by the window drinking black coffee
waiting for the sunset to disappear softly
should I put my clothes on and go down to the party
maybe I’ll go down the road
and see Dorothy

I know she’s waiting there in her broken wicker chair
empty martini glasses scattered everywhere
cigarette smoke just the color of her hair
she’s looking in the distance for a man who isn’t there
there ain’t no one lives in the country like a city girl

leave the dishes where they are leave the windows open wide
come on up to bed you can lay right by my side
listen to the moon and the wind in the tree
listen real close you might hear Dorothy

maybe I’ll get some chickens maybe I’ll get a goat
maybe I’ll forget all of the songs I ever wrote
maybe I’ll stop taking myself so damn seriously
maybe I’ll go down the road and see Dorothy
