Pretty Girls

PRETTY GIRLS
By Benjamin Dakota Rogers



Oh wild rose /
Won’t you stay here for a while /
Teach me how to be child as I grow old /

And old photograph /
Oh you just don’t look like me /
And I know you stole my soul won’t you give it back /

There’s just something about midnight that keeps me up /
Something about highways after dusk /
And something about pretty girls and falling in love /

And oh /
Oh oh /
And oh oh /
And oh /
Oh oh /
Oh oh oh /

Oh big sky /
I can see for a thousand miles /
But sometimes I swear I’m blind /

And train whistle blows /
Calling the next town but if it’s my stop oh God only knows /

There’s just something about midnight that keeps me up /
Something about highways after dusk /
And something about pretty girls and falling in love /

And I’m burning between ghost towns /
There’s ten thousand miles between /
It’s only that distance that’s keeping her from me /
And I’m burning on the south train /
But I’m running out of steam /

So old photograph /
Oh you just don’t look like me /
And I know you stole my soul won’t you give it back
