In the Moonlight

Over the Grapevine two Eugene girls spilling Margaritas on the Shakespeare Heading home for summer feet on the dash the future wide open before us It would take me years to comprehend the things you said as we approached the Society of cows millions on cows all waitin' for somethin' And they glowed in the moonlight Made It To Corning and then the Peugeot she started to sputter we didn't know We would spend eight hours in the Texaco 'til we found out She was dry as a bone And the Bartles & James must have clouded our brains And we glowed in the moonlight Stars in my eyes squirrels in my head Digging and burying all the things you said Save it for later You asked me why I was flirting so hard with the gasoline man I didn't know He wasn't good looking even when he smiled you could count his teeth on your one hand So we started to giggle like little girls do even when it's not funny When we got to Mt Shasta we had to stop and anthropomorphize the mountain She looked so pretty steady and strong standing alone in her nighty Talkin' to God And she glowed in the moonlight Thinking she had the answer when all along it was you who said it It was you who said it It was you who said it To yourself be true --- In the Moonlight - Tracy Bonham
