Текст песни Let's Stay Together - Steve Poltz

First time that I saw you, you′re on your couch and you were leaning back
Maybe late for a plane or late for a train or maybe a heart attack
You had a wild streak in your eyes, man, I love your guts
I knew I'd follow you anywhere no ifs, ands or buts

And the second time that I saw you, I wanted you so bad
But I had to get permission from your mother and go upstairs and ask your dad
And he had a shotgun sitting there at between his legs
He said, "Go out and get me some whiskey, some weed and a dozen eggs"

Let′s stay together, like birds of a feather

But when I went back to your house again, I gave it a real good inspection
I must admit I fell in love with your record collection
There wasn't wonder to know nothing you could waste
I gotta tell you, babe, you got spectacular taste

It was Christmas time, we we're walking slow and the snow is starting to fall
Went back inside under the mistletoe and I kissed you in the hall
And the choirs of angels singing this song′s a little bit out of tune
So we put on some Wood Brothers and slow danced to the light of the moon

Let′s stay together, like birds of a feather

Well, we might find work, washing dishes at the local bar
Then I'll save up some money and buy us a brand new used car
Then we′ll get us a house on an organic farm
And I'll get your name tattoo right here in the middle of my arm

Well, we might ran out of cash and join the Crudgies to dig in the ditch
But I got a guitar in my hands and my fingers are starting to twitch
It can be hard being a singer, finding a decent place to play
Well, there′s bodies littered along the side of the folk highway

Let's stay together, like birds of a feather
Baby, we′re tethered, let's stay together

You can treat this life just like it's an old board game
The kind you keep on the closet, you bring out when it starts to rain
Dusted off, learned to smile, maybe rolled the dice
Try to be patient, try to be kind, it ain′t that hard to be nice

Let′s stay together like birds of a feather
Baby, we're tethered, let′s stay together
