about
words and music by Richie Reinholdt
lyrics
Well everybody’s looking for the beautiful woman
as if she’ll pull you through
just cause you feel that special something
you think she feels it too but buddy it just ain’t true
Stay in your pasture where you belong
your mustard cutting days are through
you had your fun your time in the sun
now it’s out with the old and in with the new
Just because of her pretty face
you dance around like a puppet on a string
spinning forever on a merry-go-round
reaching for the golden ring
What makes you want what you can’t have
I hope nature’s happy with it’s joke
to think that beauty is the ultimate goal
is such a cruel hoax
Cause everybody’s looking for the beautiful woman
but she ain’t looking for you
just cause she’s looking in your direction
you think she wants you too but she’s looking right through you
They say that youth is wasted on the young
old dogs never learn new tricks
when the dreams of youth turn into age
reality hits you like a ton of bricks
Cause everybody’s looking for the beautiful woman
as if she’ll pull you through
you think cause you feel that special something
that she feels it too buddy it just ain’t true
she’s looking right through you
cause your mustard cutting days are through
as if she’ll pull you through
just cause you feel that special something
you think she feels it too but buddy it just ain’t true
Stay in your pasture where you belong
your mustard cutting days are through
you had your fun your time in the sun
now it’s out with the old and in with the new
Just because of her pretty face
you dance around like a puppet on a string
spinning forever on a merry-go-round
reaching for the golden ring
What makes you want what you can’t have
I hope nature’s happy with it’s joke
to think that beauty is the ultimate goal
is such a cruel hoax
Cause everybody’s looking for the beautiful woman
but she ain’t looking for you
just cause she’s looking in your direction
you think she wants you too but she’s looking right through you
They say that youth is wasted on the young
old dogs never learn new tricks
when the dreams of youth turn into age
reality hits you like a ton of bricks
Cause everybody’s looking for the beautiful woman
as if she’ll pull you through
you think cause you feel that special something
that she feels it too buddy it just ain’t true
she’s looking right through you
cause your mustard cutting days are through
