COUNTRY SONG SUBMISSION: Jason Paradise

Song Title: Body of Work

Lyrics:

I watched your eyes dance around the bar room
Cutting through the smoke like laser beams
Took both a minute and refill
To realize they'd set their sights on me
I'm here until they turn the lights on
But I ain't afraid of a little love
So if you dare, belly up a bar stool
Let's let the night do what it does.

PRE:
I'd love to try you on for size
But I ain't trying to live a lie

CHORUS:
I got a mouth the size of Texas, it runs like the Rio Grande
A mind that's lost a million marbles I'll never see again
Miles draped across my face and a heart that's always hurt
So honey, if you want to love me, I'm a body of work

Got a P.H.D. in the good times
Where everyday is Friday night
So when your honeymoon is over
Don't come round here for a fight

PRE:
Cause I'll never put a defense
Buyer beware, I come as is

CHORUS:
I got an eye for finding trouble, that can knock me off of my feet
A taste for good tequila and a nose I can't keep clean
A touch of something crazy and a soul that needs a church
So honey, if you want to love me, I'm a body of work

BRIDGE:
Oh no, you ain't the first
Probably won't be the last
But darlin' do your worst

CHORUS:
I got a mouth the size of Texas, it runs like the Rio Grande
A mind that's lost a million marbles I'll never see again
Miles draped across my face and a heart that's always hurt
So honey, if you want to love me, I'm a body of work
