Be careful what you wish for...
Just a middle-aged guy who's been carrying song ideas around in his head for years and has decided to learn the craft and hopefully produce something decent eventually
Story behind the song
Special thanks to Steve Soucy for his keyboard additions to this recording, Greg Mercer for the steel guitar work... And thanks to my co-writer Ken Bennett for the rest of the musical work

Shes Still In My Wallet
Dec 2008 Greg Swartzentruber/Ken Bennett
Her car is gone from my driveway
Her clothes dont hang in my closet
Her razors off the bathtub ledge
Her cell phone, I wont call it
Her letters burned
The rings returned
But, yeah, shes still in my wallet
Her nylons dont hang on the rod
She took all that fancy chocolate
Her dinette set is on my back porch
Waiting for me to haul it
My spirits spent
She finally went
But, yeah, shes still in my wallet
I keep her picture tucked beneath my old library card
Every now and then I sneak a peek
Cuz high hopes die so hard
Her laughters banished from my mind
She left just like I wanted
Shes nothing but a memory now
I try not to recall it
Shes so far gone
Guess Ill move on
But yeah, shes still in my wallet
I keep her picture tucked beneath my old library card
Every now and then I sneak a peek
Cuz high hopes die so hard
Her car is gone from my driveway
Her clothes dont hang in my closet
Her razors off the bathtub ledge
Her cell phone, I wont call it
Her letters burned
The rings returned
But, yeah, shes still in my wallet
Oh yeah, shes still in my wallet
