about

this song is a response to "Loretta" by Townes Van Zandt

lyrics

I turn away so I can’t see
the look in your eye when you make love to me.
You say you’ll be back in the spring
but I need a man not a Tumbleweed.

I’ll keep my dancing shoes on long after you’re gone.

You hold me just tight enough,
I spend your money so you treat me rough.
Men all tell me that I burn and shine
but I can’t find one to treat me kind.

I’ll keep my dancing shoes on long after you’re gone.

(What about the way I want to be loved?)

I might tell you a lie to show
that you can know my skin but there’s more to know.
Nights’ll keep pouring out like beer,
you’ll come and go but I’ll stay here.

I’ll keep my dancing shoes on long after you’re gone.
