Bar None.

I met him when I was
Leaning back in my chair
I was singing laughing
And then he was there
I decided that I liked him
Because of the way his hair
Got twisted in his fingers
And he scuffed his shoes
Like he wanted to linger
So I pulled up another stool
(you’re a fool a fool)
and told him to sit a while
because hey who doesn’t want a smile?

and who wants simplicity?
(oh pick me pick me)
i'd love life to go in major keys
but i keep hitting these notes in minor
and im just a coal miner coal miner
looking for, hoping for a diamond

He left me at noon
When the sun was blazing bright
And he shrugged and hoped
I’d be alright (be alright)
but he had to go
Don’t you know
That some men aren’t made
For this life of trust and musts
So here’s a fair trade
I’ll leave you the memories
And all I’ll take is me
I let him walk away
Because, hey, why make him stay?

and who wants simplicity?
(oh pick me pick me)
i'd love life to go in major keys
but i keep hitting these notes in minor
and im just a coal miner coal miner
looking for, hoping for a diamond
