sometimes there’s little more to love and hate

than what’s for dinner, or what’s on the tv

watching missiles cruise and the best teams lose

“trading spaces” with reality

.

but sometimes it runs a little deeper than that

you’re like a Hero reaching for your destiny

looking for clues and so anxious to prove

though confused what your next move should be

.

sometimes there’s little more to love and hate

than what’s for dinner, or what’s on the tv

andy sipowicz rules over n.y.p.d. blues

your remote controls the fantasy

.

but sometimes it runs a little deeper than that

running right~through~time into~eternity

any path that you choose will reveal the truth

it’s no use thinking you could run free

.

i wrote this country song

’cause it has been too long

since you and i made~magic in the after~noon

i wrote this country song

’cause it has been too long

since we stood alone beneath an august moon

.

i wrote this country song

i hope it’s not too wrong

that i make~music~from a lover’s tragedy

i wrote this country song

i hope it’s not too wrong

to assume some~other~day that you will see

.

sometimes there’s little more to love and hate

than what’s for dinner, or what’s on the tv

you leave the channel on a “baywatch” marathon

it’s absconding with your fragile sanity

.

but sometimes it runs a little deeper than that

and your absence zeroes~in on gravity

how this love lingers on even though you have gone

points a finger at the heart upon my sleeve

.

sometimes there’s little more to love and hate

than what’s for dinner, or what’s on the tv

watch the towers fall and you still don’t call

should be all the proof a poet needs to be

.

but sometimes it runs a little deeper than that

you’re like a Hero crushed beneath catastrophe

when an angry squall makes the journey stall

and the call is just a fading memory

.

’cause someone done me wrong

i wrote a country song

i hope it’s not too long

i wrote a country song

(she never would believe)

i wrote a country song
