#105 YOUR ORNERY SMILE
#105 YOUR ORNERY SMILE
(Americana)
(DEMO)
(Full Arrangement)
Randy's back yard party, beneath an old giant tree,
Met you first -- dancing eyes, happy to argue with me.
I tried to be funny, you said "Call that a joke?"
Rolled your eyes, pointed at the top of the oak.
Love your passion -- unafraid to disagree
Made me laugh when you said "Go climb a tree!"
See your face, feel like everything's okay
Your ornery smile just brightens my day.
Weeks turned to months, your passion's the same.
Late-night whiskey debating -- rub my neck from the strain.
You yell "Everyone deserves to be free!"
I nod, then say "Can we maybe just sit quietly?"
You can't let it slide, when you disagree,
Tell me I'm full of myself, and go climb a tree.
Has me believing not a damn thing's okay,
See your ornery smile, feel like I'm just in the way.
Three months post-break up,
had a meal with a lovely girl,
Sweet, agreeable -- told her "I'm sorry" and then left.
Had to find you -- raced across town to the theater,
"Summer Classics" you never miss.
You'd say "Popcorn's the best!"
Finally see you -- lock eyes as you stand in the aisle,
Five long, slow seconds -- at last your smile.
Always come out and say it, when you disagree,
If I'm full of myself, tell me go climb a tree.
When you're not in it, not a damn thing's okay,
Your ornery smile's the best part of my day.
When you're not in it, not a damn thing's okay,
Your ornery smile's the best part of my day.
