"For Mary Jo"
(c)2007 Bob Atkinson
If I’m really good
won’t be gone for long
‘cause here’s where
I got all I need
to make a good song
big city’s got the pay
but sometimes
dollars can’t replace
feelins’ of home
of clear right and wrong
strummin’ away
dog is swishing flies
daddy’s on the bass
momma’s cooking apple pies
Mary Jo’s a smilin’ face
can’t believe I’m thinkin’
of going away
got this idee in my heart
of being big someday
somethin’ tugs away at me
even more than Mary Jo
got the need to set free
all songs in my soul
dog is swishin’ flies
daddy’s on the bass
momma’s cooking apple pies
Mary Jo’s a smilin’ face
be walking down a road
gotta catch that bus to Nashville
won’t be far to go
in miles but not in goals
more lose than win
but that don’t matter none
gotta try it once ‘fore I’m done
dog is swishin’ flies
daddy’s on the bass
momma’s cooking apple pies
Mary Jo’s a smilin’ face
