lyrics
never knew i was a snarky cowgirl til i hit the road and met a man who hitched his bike to a waypost every night
always thought i was a one-town pony, ponytailed, polite
til jackie told me "you're a breath of fresh air. you know that, right?"
i'm no good at romance
i meet dogs and think that we belong
and while sweethearts hang around, i only will commit to song
don't know much about you, but i know you know how to get down
friendship is an involuntary reflex when you're around
there's a glimmer of hope i could take something serious
it's gleamin' on the ocean
it's reflecting off your teeth
and i could swear it's not just a flash in the pan, soon i'll understand that prospects of love don't all end darkly, and that i am something sparkly
my band's names in the mercury, my tape is in your car
i could karate chop my way into your little green arms
but i'm hoping that you'll say "come 'ere" and we'll take it from there
i think there's sweetness in the future &
gold glitter in the air
