Kimberley |
| Tell you a story, about a girl named Kimberly |
| Who all the cowboys wanted cause she was wild and free |
| But now theres fussing and theres fighting |
| We all taking sides |
| While the cowboys are playing their old games of conquer and divide |
| You see Kimberly was special, a rare and wild soul |
| Nearly every man who met her, their hearts she always stole |
| But there are always those exceptions of the cold and callous kind |
| That wanted just her body and leave the mess for us behind |
| Where do i stand? |
| Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the sand |
| It’s all gray. |
| There are no black and whites so who am I to say |
| I said yes I am I am and I belong |
| Cause I got my land and I got my song |
| Yes I am I am and I am strong |
| Cause I got my land and I got my song |
| Now the prince of the cowboys, his name was Barnett |
| He wanted to leave his mark, you know, so we did not forget |
| So he said «Mine mine mine, all for me» |
| It’s great to be a cowboy in the wild west roaming free |
| So he brandished all his bullets he put a gun right to our head |
| He said «I'm giving you all a choice, you’re either with me or your dead |
| See, i got to have this kin, i can’t get her off my mind |
| And I ain’t gonna stop until shes mine, mine» |
| Where do i stand? |
| Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the sand |
| It’s all gray. |
| There are no black and whites so who am I to say |
| I said yes I am I am and I belong |
| Cause I got my land and I got my song |
| Yes I am I am and I am strong |
| Cause I got my land all I got’s my song |
| Now its come to a showdown and its all push and pull |
| Got these lawyers having field day while the cowboys are funding schools |
| I guess it boils down to how you see it, do you see Kimberly |
| Or just another god damn hole in the ground just another opportunity? |
| Where do I stand? |
| Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the sand |
| It’s all gray, there are no black and whites |
| So who am I to say? |
| You are wrong but you never know what you got until its gone |
| And one day the little people will ask what you did and what we said |
| I said yes I am I am and I belong |
| Cause I got my land and I got my song |
| Yes I am I am and I am strong |
| Cause I got my land and I got my song |
