Half Of The Time Lyrics

Well little miss Arkansas comes drifting down the road

You look in her eyes and you might see mine

She might have a card to draw from a window laced in gold

She might have a song about wasted time

Half of my days are spent in silent thought

Half of my nights are filled with wine

Most of my songs are just forget me nots

I swear that I love her half of the time

You might even chance to meet the inside of her ears

She'll listen and talk with a scented rhyme

She'll never convict you with a jury of your peers

She'll ask if you're sure you've committed a crime

Half of my days are spent in silent thought

Half of my nights are filled with wine

And most of my songs are just forget me nots

I swear that I love her half of the time

And late in the evening with a candle at your heels

When you're calling ridiculous sublime

You might hear the echo of her voice like baby seals

I swear that I love her half of the time

Half of my days are spent in silent thought

Half of my nights are filled with wine

And most of my songs are just forget me nots

I swear that I love her half of the time

They'd call you snake if you had visions like I do

You'd burn at the stake or end up locked in a traitor's zoo

They'd tell you your better half is lost in double dealing

And half of the time you're better off with half of the feeling

Well little miss Arkansas comes drifting down the road

You look in her eyes and you might see mine

She might have a card to draw from a window laced in gold

She might have a song about wasted time

Half of my days are spent in silent thought

Half of my nights are filled with wine

And half of my songs are just forget me nots

I swear that I love her half of the time

I swear that I love her half of the time

I swear that I love her half of the time
