Hand Springs |
| I took my girl to go bowling downtown at the Red Door |
| After an argument I started because I thought she didn’t like me anymore |
| I can’t help it, sometimes I feel pitiful |
| And of course, she’s so young and beautiful |
| I bought us two glasses of Coke |
| That’s her favorite, and I wanted to make up for earlier |
| But I dropped her glass and it broke |
| So I just gave my glass to her |
| She laughed and so did I in our lane |
| Then she went to the vending machine to buy a candy cane |
| But right next to that was a boy I knew with a spring in his hand |
| Playing a country pinball machine called «Stand By Your Man» |
| I saw him talk to her, but I stayed in my lane and played my game steady |
| And was thinking of the day when i’d be too old to throw a ball this heavy |
| But I guess I’m young now, so it’s easy to knock 'em all down |
| Then I looked and saw her say to him, «you're really hitting that ball around» |
| And he’s looking at her the way I did when i first met her |
| I could see in his face white flowers and cups of coffee and love letters |
| I was sorry to interrupt that game |
| But I went and did it anyway |
| I dropped my red bowling ball through the glass of the machine |
| And said, «Are you quick enough to hit this ball, Mr. Clean?» |
| I was scared to lose her, so I couldn’t help being mean |
| And that ended both of our games |
| I said I was sorry, but my girl left with him just the same |
| I thought how much I hate when love makes me act this way |
| I was bent over a broken pinball machine in a bowling alley and I threw it all |
| away |
| Well, isn’t it all just a big game? |
| Isn’t it all just a big game? |
