I Got A Girl (Lyric) by <{Baba^Yaga}>
I got a girl, and she loves me with no shame Don't ask how since I'm loaded-loud, and quite profane When we first met She was barely seventeen I was 24 years old, a brief cased poet on morphine I took her back with me To a place where I was a guest But it didn't take us long To fall victim to love's test [Chorus] When she got pregnant We barely knew each other's names But like the mother Mary said, "I was too young when Jesus came" But like mother Mary said, "I was too young when Jesus came" So life can be funny Regardless if you get the joke Take the wizard of Oz for example Tilting mirrors, full of smoke [Chorus] Trust the action of love, and keep your goals defined Because if you blame then panic? You can kiss all your dreams goodbye Because if you blame then panic? You can kiss all your dreams goodbye [Improv and closing] I have a habit of breaking everything, and I don't know why I feel the need to hurt myself all the time A nomad settled tends to get moody fast The Navy took my 18th year when I went to Captain's mast But for every fucked thing that's ever happened to me? Became the scars that caught the loving eye of my future wife, and now our precious son keeps our love so intact With a laugh and hello he sits up high on daddy's back He sits up high on, he sits up high on Daddy's back

'I Got a Girl' was a song by Tripping Daisy, the lead was Tim DeLaughter who went on to form the Polyphonic Spree.

perhaps if stretched just a bit, it would be a satisfying song, but I'm picky on music anyway. Loved the first three stanzas, the first chorus was ok, fourth stanza didn't do all too well (which, dur, is why theres a fucking improv, but you know me when I blab, it rolls onwards.) And ofcourse I relate except that I've only just met the first girl that I really actually had feelings that go beyond lust.. oddly enough.. different topic though, but you'll hear of it sooner or later... I've crawled out of the rock that kept me cozy and diseased, finally..

well, heres my worn out voting line:

blessed with seven.
