Greg Brown - Butane Lighter Blues lyrics

She had a butane lighter, but it wasn't really working that good She had a butane lighter, but it wasn't really working too good She said, you coulda used a match I said, yes I could Cedar Valley Shopper's Haven, that's what it said on the side Cedar Valley Shopper's Haven, that's what it said on the side I was out buying a monkey wrench She was just wasting time You want to grab a bite to eat, I asked her with a grin You want to grab a bite to eat, I asked her with a grin I opened the door to my '64 Chrysler And she slipped right in She had those nervous eyes, said she was just pa**ing through the town She had those nervous eyes, she was just pa**ing through the town I guess that she was hungry The way she wolfed her Big Boy down Could you take me out to 80, she asked me soft and slow Honey, could you take me out to 80, she asked me sweet and low She said, I got a girlfriend gonna meet me Somewhere out around San Bernadino Thanks alot, take care now, you can just let me out here Thanks alot, take care now, youi can just let me out here I had to watch her fade In my rear view mirror She forgot her butane lighter, I flicked the damn thing a time or two She forgot her butane lighter, I flicked the damn thing a time or two No use, no juice, I threw it out the window Tell me what are you gonna do?
