SIX-FOOT BUTTERFLY
it was on a monday night
she stood there looking at the moonlight from the bar
she'd been serving drinks since four
biting her lip--she would not take it anymore
put her glass down, grabbed a coin
walked to the jukebox to play her favorite song
she served her last drink that night (x2)
(Chorus)
closed her eyes
whirled around and whirled around some more...
a six-foot butterfly (x2)
when the jukebox settled down
she grabbed her purse and walked out thru the door
all the men said, "hey come back."
she didn't hear them;
her feet were moving fast
when she got home
called a friend who lived in NY
and asked about his band
she served her last drink that night (x2)
(Chorus)
spent six months there in NY
learned the songs and gigged around the town
everybody loved their sound
thought about touring
checking out new ground
got a gig in her old bar
laughed and cried then picked up her guitar
(Chorus)
