lyrics

LOOK DOWN ON ME LOVINGLY words & music: bill mallonee
sketchin' your fate in copperplate
some of those strokes were pretty bold
chiseling your own story in stone
faith is a hammer breaking the mold

look up to the sky
arms open wide and please
look down on me
lovingly

i was never too good coming out of the gate
the kind of dark horse you shouldn't waste your money on
never tight on the curves
wanderin' lost & starry-eyes on the straight-aways
what with all that beauty...to keep track of

hours on end till your skin wears thin
dirty green rooms & graffiti takes a toll on your health
you archive the years through bourbon & beer
for some verses just to sing to yourself

TV preachers and a motel crash grace is a full tank of gas
you chase the things just outta reach and always a bit too far
the songs still come on this guitar I strum
but, mostly it's just me singin' to the stars
