The GAME

Take me to the GAME good Game Big Game sister ,

Sun coming up over the stadium .....baby ,got yer flat cap on

And them rocky mountain jeans ....Sun’s up high love love you as Big as the Sky ..

Droves of cheering colourful folks outta  nowhere....Supersize me scoreboards

Flashing up Flashing up those messages and otherwise subliminal goings on between us take me to the game Big Game Golden girl ...left yer daddy on the porch and yer momma wants you home for tea ....and so do I ...

Here come the jocks and the High Kicking cheerleaders ....the game the game socialnomics  at play ..

And you said she  said you whispered she said you  said ‘’ you’re crazy’’... ‘’your so f****n’ yah yah’’ and when you smiled for me just that once and when you hugged me that once and when you danced with me that one ...when you wanted me that once .... that once was never  enough ...

All those onces that sent me over the edge ,lost me the game ...

Take me to the Game big Game sister ,on the way home in your SUV we’ll smile happy love reflecting in our Stars and Striped  Sunglasses...
