lyrics

your such a hard person to shop for
hard person to know how to please
I always think “what’I get you that for
maybe you’d rather one of these

every Christmas, every Easter, in every magazine
I searched for the uniquely unique
in a Colorado canyon I hide 3 jellybeans
that the peak of my creative streak

there are groves of trashy trinkets that symbolize you
and faces held captive in clay
and scratched in a rock in my back yard
and there my whole lifetime you’ll stay

(Break)

and my guitar, my songbook of memories
of summers on the beach at Cape Cod
and my religious, indignant summaries
of time, space travel, and god

but my treasures of ineptness so meager
and what I bought at the mall all display
that I’m killing to be willing and able
to heap on you all of my praise

yes my guitar, my songbook of memories
of summers on the beach at Cape Cod
and my religious, indignant summaries
of time, space travel and god

but my treasures of ineptness so meager
and what I bought at the mall all display
that I’m killing to be willing and able
to heap on you all of my praise

Amen
