Forty Dollar Photo

Four wheels roll while four feet stroll to a table
Sit down for the photo op
Get out there and shoot your shot
Act real cute, now look at me
Flashing, smiles, suddenly
Chin on hands and show your teeth
He can sit there awkwardly
Forty for the photo op
Get out there and shoot your shot

She gives a hug to boost morale,
She says, “I am just a simple gal.”
Maybe I’m amazed by the simplest things
Maybe I’m amazed at the way that she sings
Life through lyrics misheard
The feeling or conviction of the words

Confusion and scuffling at the stand
He’s got her back, he takes her hand
They wander through a lit up land,
Take on the night and all that’s planned

Gives high-fives to boost morale
Says, “I am just a simple gal.”
Maybe I’m amazed by the simplest things
Maybe I’m amazed by the smile she brings
Lived through tragic and absurd
The feeling or affliction of what’s heard
