Cuz, my love is a contradiction to what I chose to write.
Progressive Alternative Country Rock from Deep in the Heart of Texas.
is a place where the sign reads, "No Boots Required".
Story behind the song
When you've been together for more than a minute and are a musician, you sometimes forget who you're married to.
Lyrics
GOOD ON PAPER
Tell me another story, she says make this one nice and sweet
While ducking to my right, avoiding the obsinities hurled at me
Just any ole' Sunday night, long week ahead..might as well fight
Cause my love is a contradiction, to what I chose to write
It sure sounds good on paper, in real life it doesn't mean a thing
Cause my words are always twisted, and now used against me
I shouldn't be so honest, some words aren't spoken easily
It sure sounds good on paper, no matter what she wants to believe
Inspiration is what she brings, a poem accompanied her wedding
ring Stuff that once picked her up, has me livin' out of my pick-up truck
Songs written over the years, prove I've all,but, changed
Didn't hold her hand, don't give a damn, only words or part of a bigger plan
It sure sounds good on paper, in real life troubles what it brings
Details I couln't leave out, are now used against me
I shouldn't be so honest, some words aren't spoken easily
It sure sounds good on paper, no matter what she wants to believe
She'll settle down, come around
Cause her wedding ring means everything !!!...everything...
It sure sounds good on paper, in real life it doesn't mean a thing
Cause my words are always twisted and now used against me
I shouldn't be so honest, some words aren't spoken easily
It sure sounds good on paper, come tomarrow she'll again believe...in me
