"Girl of My Dreams"

Here's a new song of mine. Come out to the Dry Bean on October 29 to see it with the band! Here's the video. The lyrics are below.



“Girl of My Dreams”

I learned my lesson about taking advice
From Friday friends—next time I'm gonna think twice
I’ve heard some rumblings of you messing around
With the guys downtown—how very nice

The same old echos I heard time and again, like
“You’ll love this girl,” and “man I swear she’s a ten”
Now I find out that it all just depends
On whether you’re out or whether you’re in

Now I’m all alone in this this wide world, trying to find another girl
to fill the void you left in my mind
I guess I’ll just have to wait another day before she finally comes my way
And leaves you others far behind
The girl of my dreams so hard to find

I guess it started near the end of July
It was first time I noticed things were going awry
Up til then I guess we never had fought
I guess I never had thought of asking why

The little hints I thought I’d misunderstood
I never hollered—I thought I never would
Verbal aggression never came to no good
But now I need the release, and I think that it could

'Cause I’m all alone in this this wide world, trying to find another girl
to fill the void you left in my mind
I guess I’ll just have to wait another day before she finally comes my way
And leaves you others far behind
The girl of my dreams so hard to find

It never seemed so wrong—did it now
To string me out along
In all honesty I guess I can’t be mad
And truth be told I’m glad

That I’m all alone in this this wide world, trying to find another girl
to fill the void you left in my mind
I guess I’ll just have to wait another day before she finally comes my way
And leaves you others far behind
The girl of my dreams so hard to find
