I’m a Keeper

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Blue eyed Susans Standing in a domino line Falling in and out of love all the time They'll break your heart just to see a boy cry But not me I am a brown eyed loner I march to my own drummer I'm a piccolo owner and the labor of my mother's love Honey, you'd be a load off her mind [Pre-Chorus] But with or without you My only plan is to be free With or without you I'm still me [Chorus] I'll join a band and sing like a canary Get out of here and change my name to Cherry And every night I'll thank Holy Mother Mary I am a keeper Oh, I am a keeper, baby I am a keeper [Verse 2] Long stem roses Standing in a vase by my bed Standing tall like the dreams in my head I'm not gonna live in this house until I'm dead I like you a lot 'Cause you're different a little You got answers to my riddles Your daddy is a pistol And you are a son of a gun I could be the daughter that he never wanted [Chorus] But with or without you I'll buy a farm at the edge of the prairie Live off the land and change my name to Cherry And every night I'll thank Holy Mother Mary I am a keeper Oh, I am a keeper, baby I am a keeper [Pre-Chorus] But with or without you My only plan is to be free With or without you I'm still me [Chorus] I'll buy a sword and join the military Cut my hair and change my name to Cherry And every night I'll thank Holy Mother Mary I am a keeper Oh, I am a keeper, baby I am a keeper Oh, I am a keeper, baby
