"Cliches" lyrics
"Cliches"
She's got a ballpark figure
He's got a ballpoint pen
They travel around for weeks at a time
Writin' down descriptions of the places they been
She plays guitar but nothin' fancy
With no intention of becomin' a star
Only thing that's botherin' him these days
Is where he's gonna find a good ten-cent cigar
Clichés, good ways
To say what you mean, mean what you say
She never did make her debut
He never made it to class
She's eighty-sixed from the chart room
He's twenty nine and pushin' thirty real fast
They're funny when they get to rockin'
Goin' out for a night on the town
Takin' Polaroid pictures that are never in focus
Just to look at when they finally slow down
Full moon, so soon
Wishin' every month of the year could be June
He's always tuned into Star Trek
She's always tuned into him
Hidin' his cookies when he gets the munchies
Tryin' hard just to keep the boy slim
Tonight they're gonna go stargazin'
And try to figure out which one they're near
But try as they might, I don't think they'll reach the height
You know you can't get there from here
Full moon, so soon
Wishin' every month of the year could be June
Clichés, good ways
To say what you mean, mean what you say
To say what you mean, mean what you say

Gotta lay your money down

Michael Martin Murphey - "Cosmic Cowboy, Pt. 1" Burial ground and merry-go-rounds
Are all the same to me
Horses on posts and kids and ghosts
Are spirits we oughta set free
Them city slicker pickers
They got a lotta slicker licks than you and me...
