Brent Kirby Just Like A Parade
she don’t wear too much makeup
her hair perfectly cool
she smells like an angel
she looks like one too
but her halo is lying
broken on the ground
yea she gets what she wants
in her own special way
at night she goes out
puts her wares on display
just like a parade
her eyes they do shine
like the morning sun
i wake up real early
watch her daylight become
when she walks in the room
the music stops
everyone stares
all the bad things she’s done
they just seem to fade
she walks right past
in a sundress she made
just like a parade
although she’s an angel
minus the wings
she can’t fly up high
she can’t even sing
lives her life drowning
in fortune and fame
she don’t care
if she don’t know my name
i used up all my chances
so many years ago
i used to run real fast
but now i walk slow
this guy next to me says
hey son, you got nothing to lose
cause son you ain’t a man
if you can’t make her stay
you can tell her don’t leave
but she just walks away
just like a parade
