To Be True

Be mine now and here unless you've got a better idea

But you play it straight

You never veer

Eyes on the road

hands on the wheel

At the red light we watch her together lean into a window wearing cheap leather

I've heard lots of bad ideas like just be myself like never fear

But to be true

But to be good

But to be yours

Who knows if I could?

In my mind's eye I'll see her forever step out of the darkness wearing cheap leather

The other day I saw this woman crossing the street wearing thigh high leather boots

And I noticed on her left leg there was this bulky shape and I realized she had gotten her boot on over her ankle monitor

And I thought to myself

You know if I could tell you just one thing

that's what I would tell you
