SHE MAKES ME FEEL BETTER THAN TOWNES VAN ZANDT

 



She makes me feel better than Townes Van Zandt



Well they say that the truth is stranger than fiction

And telling tall tales is part of my addiction

But I'll tell you a story about a Monday night

When everything went all right

It all really started on the Sunday afternoon

I was practising my guitar alone in my room

When I got this phone call from this certain honey

I'd been trying to get to know her

She'd been driving me crazy

She said we should go to a show tomorrow night

Tickets were a bit pricey but I said all right

So we met at the Corner Bar and oh what a scene

They wouldn't let her in she was wearing ripped jeans

So we went and got burgers full of egg plant

And went upstairs to a concert by

Townes Van Zandt

Well this guy had songs could make a grown man cry

And my friend looked stunning with a promise in her eye

Now I'm prone to raving and I love to rant

But she makes me feel better than

Townes Van Zandt

Soon the show was over so we went for a drive

Harbour bridge ,Deveport, all that jazz

We looked at the lights I ran my fingers through her hair she said

'take me back to your place ' I was floating on air

So we started to drive home but we didn't get far

Got pulled over by an unmarked police car

There were two detectives to talk to me

Something to do with some armed robbery

Now I was impatient on this cold windy night

But these guys had guns so I was ultra polite

My friend stayed in the car and they left he alone

And after a lot of questions they let us drive home

So we got back to my place and I lit up a fire

And I sang some songs for my hearts desire

Well I write my own songs and I sometimes do covers

And it's always a pleasure to sing for a lover

Well she sat by the fire and she nodded her head

Then she took out her contacts and got into my bed

Well I'm prone to raving and I love to rant

And she makes me feel better than

Townes Van Zandt

So that's where this story has got to end

Because some things are private between me and my friend

But I'm prone to raving and I love to rant

And she makes me feel better than Townes Van Zandt
