Brownie Hawkeye Lyrics
you took your
brownie hawkeye
and pointed it up
at the sky
you just let the
shutter fly
all of your friends
still wonder why
you were never good
with a goodbye
you just turned your back
and let it slide
i try to remember the words
i once heard
you spoke them with courage
you never deserved
all of that
that they let you carry (?)
few were the firsts
for sure
you were the first to be married
stars went wheeling across the sky
silloetted the tops of the bending pines
summer was high
we were storming inside
the morning glories
bloomed by moonlight
we get that picture
in your mind
'cause of all the smoke
in our eyes
i took a piss
on the wall
out back of the mall
you drank the last of the sherri
green grass stains
on your bare feet
on the dash
of your mother's Chevy
I guess it was hard to quit
which you won't admit
to beginning
we vamped(?) from shoulder
to shoulder
we’ll never grow up
we just got older
i chewed a hole
right through my heart
from the very start
anticipating the myth of you
brownie hawkeye
and pointed it up
at the sky
you just let the
shutter fly
still wonder why
you were never good
with a goodbye
you just turned your back
and let it slide
i once heard
you spoke them with courage
all of that
that they let you carry (?)
for sure
you were the first to be married
silloetted the tops of the bending pines
summer was high
we were storming inside
bloomed by moonlight
we get that picture
in your mind
'cause of all the smoke
in our eyes
on the wall
out back of the mall
you drank the last of the sherri
on your bare feet
on the dash
of your mother's Chevy
which you won't admit
to beginning
to shoulder
we’ll never grow up
we just got older
right through my heart
from the very start
anticipating the myth of you

gawd, jason's voice is just lovely here.
You never deserved all of the hurt That they let you carry
and
Weaving from shoulder to shoulder We never grew up, just got older
