lyrics

Daisy

Daisy was a survivor
I met her in a small town shooting pool
I bummed a smoke under the risers
While the rain came down and cooled...

the August afternoon in Texas
Where it was Lone Star and I against the heat
The girl I was dating had already left us
And I wasn’t due back at work ‘til three

The bar around the block served free chicken
On Friday afternoons around lunch
Daisy worked a fry cook in the corner
As I doubled up my bourbon on a hunch

##

Daisy said her babies had some babies
Who were working on some babies of their own
“Don’t try and do that math,” she laughed.
“Just know that I don’t go to sleep alone.”

She asked me where I’s from as we smoked
I said, “The good, ol’ U.S. of A.”
She asked me how I was liking Texas.
“Touche, mon amore.”


##

Daisy’s first husband Lionel
Was a drunken, swollen thumb of a man
She’d liked his uniform when she met him
But it was the badge that she came to understand

Because who could she call when he beat her?
Her eyes were black but he was backed by the blue
“Thank God for that heart attack,” she laughed.
“Sometimes you get what’s due to you.”
