lyrics

Mean Eyed Cat

I still remember, it was easy
Sitting around or dancing the night away
Drakes were steaming, girls were beaming
And we just let the music play

Cowgirls swinging with sleepy eyes
Spilling beer and digging songs
Starry night, sweet illusion
Of keeping music right where it belongs

I've been loving you this way forever
And I will always listen to your heart
You've been telling me it's now or never
And it’s never too late to start

Walking slowly, we're together
We just need to cross another street
Gage is playing, dancers swaying
And sweet Michelle knows exactly what we need

Monday music at the Depot
The Iron horse stopped running years ago
The city’s booming, concrete's blooming
We're just guessing where the music's gonna go

We need rhythm in the street
