Vagus: December 2023

Well now I never went to college, babe

I did not have the luck

Stole out of Indiana

In the back of a pickup truck

With no education higher

Than the streets of my hometown

I went looking for a fire just to burn it all down

You got a real fine love

One I am unworthy of

You got a real fine love, baby

Well I thought I had a line on something

Baby no one else could say

They couldn't find it their hearts to just get out my way

And out of nowhere and for nothing

You came into my life

I've seen an angel or two before

But I never asked one to be my wife.

You got a real fine love

One I am unworthy of

You got a real fine love, baby

Well you can sprinkle all your teardrops

Across the evening sky

But you cannot hide that twinkle

Of starlight in your eye

I left my map way back there, baby

I don't know where we are

But I'm gunna pull my pony up

And hitch my wagon to your star

You got a real fine love

One I am unworthy of

You got a real fine love, baby

Well maybe it's just a little thing

The way I feel tonight

A little joy, a little peace, and a whole lot of light
