Steve Earle - Two Girls Lyrics

Steve Earle – Two Girls Lyrics

The clouds didn’t look like cotton
They didn’t even look like clouds
I was underneath the weather
All my friends look like a crowd
The swimmin’ hole was full of rum
And I tried to find out why
All I learned was this, my friend
You got to swim before you fly
I got two girls
One’s in heaven, one’s below
One I love with all my heart
And one I do not know

Two lonesome dudes on a ugly horse
Passed by not long ago
They asked me where the action was
I said that I did not know
As they disappeared into the brush
I heard the driver say
He’s a little slow between the ears
He’s always been that way
I got two girls
One’s in heaven, one’s below
One I love with all my heart
And one I do not know

Jolly Jane just lays around
And listens with her mouth
She’s had about a dozen husbands
But the last one just pulled out
Now who’s gonna bring her dinner
Through the weary years ahead
All she’ll get from me is sympathy
Ain’t got time to see she’s fed
I got two girls
One’s in heaven, one’s below
One I love with all my heart
And one I do not know

Cold down on the bayou
They say it’s in your mind
But the moccasins are treadin’ lee
And leavin’ strange designs
The Cajun say the last time
This happened they weren’t here
Beaumont’s full of penguins
And I’m playin’ it by ear
I got two girls
One’s in heaven, one’s below
One I love with all my heart
And one I do not know
