American Primitive

Is that a cherry blossom or an eastern redbud The sun setting in the west looks like fresh blood The orange afterglow crashes off the rocky path You're trying to act sad don't make me laugh Straight-up hawks flyin' 'round above the new leaves Nothing ever lasts forever time will never freeze The peepers comin' out the crickets and the creek A summer's all I need to watch you sleep I got bricks for brains and my soul is strange Rememberin' how to live American primitive I'm always comin' home someday I'll finally get there To smell the cherry blossoms lingering in your hair The sun settin' and the circus gonna catch fire It feels so good to finally fall off of that tight wire Here we are now on the corner of a king size The sun sparklin' in the corners of your eyes A summer's all I need to watch you sleepin' I'll tell you every single secret I been keepin' You are better late yeah you're worth the wait Rememberin' how to live American primitive I got bricks for brains and my soul is strange Rememberin' how to live American primitive You are better late yeah you're worth the wait Rememberin' how to live American primitive I got bricks for brains and my soul is strange Rememberin' how to live American primitive
