Choppin’ Wood Lyrics by The Show Ponies

We’re Not Lost

0

[Verse 1: Clay Chaney]
I ain't too good at choppin' wood
But my daddy said I should
I need a gal with a nice strong back
Child-bearin' hips and a one-room shack
I'm a hard, hard worker every day
Dirty hands and a little pay
I get up early and I get back late
[Verse 2: Andi Carder]
I ain't too good at matching clothes
Wearing heels and panty hose
I need a man that's sensitive
Stoic and contemplative
A scholar and a gentleman
A caller with strong arms to hold me in
[Chorus]
So what if we're not everything
Our mothers and our fathers expected us to be
Could I be the one who's in your dreams?
Could I be the one who you redeem?
[Verse 3: Andi Carder]
I've gettin' good at acting sweet
But it's hard to admit defeat
I'm prim and proper and put together
I'm sick and sore, under the weather
Got friends in places high and low
Learned things I didn't want to know
Been lifted up just to be let go
[Verse 4: Clay Chaney]
I'm gettin' good at actin’ tough
But I haven't gotten good enough
I want to be on the silver screen
I'm a kind-hearted man that's often mean
I'm a lover and a fighter
I am a worker and a writer
I am a dreamer woken up by fits of rage
[Chorus]
So what if we're not everything
Our mothers and our fathers expected us to be
Could I be the one who's in your dreams?
Could I be the one who you redeem?
[Verse 5: Clayton Chaney]
Been trying hard to understand
What it means to be a man
And every time I fall in love
I hug and kiss, then push and shove
I'm solid then I'm soft and then
I'm gone and then I'm back again
I am a saint but my heart's filled with sin
[Chorus]
So what if we're not everything
Our mothers and our fathers expected us to be
Could I be the one who's in your dreams?
Could I be the one who you redeem?
