I LOVE YOU, STILL

[IT SHOULD BE MENTIONED THAT OUT OF ALL THE SONGS JESSE AND I PLANNED OUT FOR OUR DRINKING BAND, THIS ONE CAME THE CLOSEST TO ACTUALLY BECOMING A SONG.  HE PUT SOME MUSIC TO MY WORDS.  IT WASN'T ANYTHING CONCRETE, BUT IT WAS SOMETHING, AT LEAST.  HE PROBABLY DOESN'T EVEN REMEMBER HOW IT GOES.  I KNOW I ONLY HAVE A VAGUE MEMORY.  ENJOY!]


[THIS SONG IS DEDICATED TO MARIA]


You have curves in all the right places

You put smiles on so many faces
I love to watch your insides sizzle
Snap-crackle-pop, bubble, fizzle.
I yearn to light the fire beneath you
And drink in your amber glory, too.


Copper tubing, pipes and screws
Scrape the Bunsen burner fuse
Feed you corn, but no cash
You squirt out some sour mash.
Jar you up for 30 days
Drink myself into a haze.


Stick the Mason ‘neath your spout
‘Shine’s a thing, can’t do without
White Lightning sets your guts on fire
Sobriety burns upon this pyre
Eyes point out in directions two
Babe, I can’t do this without you.


Copper tubing, pipes and screws
Scrape the Bunsen burner fuse
Feed you corn, but no cash
You squirt out some sour mash.
Jar you up for 30 days
Drink myself into a haze.


Moonshine scrambles up my mind
Should I shit or should I go blind?
Greatness sure has its price
This corn whiskey don’t play nice
Regardless, I shall drink my fill
Just because I love you, still.


Copper tubing, pipes and screws
Scrape the Bunsen burner fuse
Feed you corn, but no cash
You squirt out some sour mash.
Jar you up for 30 days
Drink myself into a haze.

  1. Not bad at all. Nice to see somebody unafraid to rhyme. I love rhyme, and drank my fair share of shine.
