recorded at Hootenanny Manor, Orcutt

lyrics

she can go, but she cant leave
shes stuck for a while bit she's leaving in style
and she can know, but she cant believe
its the books thats shes read
and the thoughts in her head
oh shes knows nobody thinks she'll ever change
oh shes knows nobody thinks she is the same girl
she never told nobody so noone knows her name
she thinks that they cant pronounce it so she's never announced it
the whole damn town says she'll amount to nothing but
if she knew me i think her whole world would change
she can walk but she cant glide
she can talk but she cant rhyme
she can dance but she cant fly
ill get my chance, ill be a guy
no man alive thinks she'll get the rhythm down
but no man ever tried to teach the little girl how but
ill be the one
she thinks her steps will bring her family shame
that the world will denounce her theyll kick her and pound her
but i can be the counsler ensure the game cause
if she knew me i think her whole world would change
i know you hear me so dont fear me
im steering you in the right direction girl
i know you see me so please believe me
the minute you impress them youll never wanna leave me girl
oh deep down you know shes dying for a change
but the town says no shell always be the same girl
she never showed nobody so no one knows she can laugh
you should hear the sound as it rushes round and then circles the town and then floats like a plane cause
if she knew me i think her whole world would change
each moment and clasp the soul til it grows and glows and then flows through her veins cause
if she knew me i think her whole world would change
