lyrics

Borrowed Guitar

~~~

A mentholated moon
Over Baton Rouge
Shining down on me
I slept like a baby made of granite
Under a Sycamore tree

Oh, the happiest fool on the planet
- That'd be me

A cigarette vigil
From dusk till dawn
California flags unfurl
Through eyes last static
Mama, turn me on
My little marijuana sunshine girl

Sunshine girl
Turn on your mockingbird charm
While the afternoon collapses
In caresses in your heavenly arms

Superstardust on the sidewalk
Of that long gone boulevard
Ice cold singers
And old late finger
Falling in love
Falling in love
With a borrowed guitar

Well, I get the pie
One crumb at a time
Then it's back to the anthill again
I never stop to wonder
What the hell it all means
Maybe just a means to an end

A means to and end
But what end?
You know a certain line of question
Gonna send you right around the bend

Cigarette butts
From the balcony
No, they are not shooting stars
And old magpie can't trust his eyes
Falling in love
Falling in love
Don't be falling in love
With a borrowed guitar

Scott Hrabko image

Scott Hrabko Kansas City, Missouri

Kansas City's Scott Hrabko is an independent singer/songwriter who has followed his own mercurial muse since the town's late- 80s indie rock scene.

“Hrabko’s rootsy songs are filled with trap doors, hidden nooks, and secret passageways. They’re like those dreams within comfortably familiar houses that suddenly have brand new rooms.”
Mike Warren - No Depression ... more
