Hand Springs
I took my girl to go bowling downtown at the red door After an argument I started 'Cause I thought she didn't like me anymore I can't help it sometimes I feel pitiful And of course she's so young and beautiful
I bought us two glasses of coke That's her favorite and I wanted to make up for earlier But I dropped her glass and it broke So I just gave my glass to her
She laughed and so did I in our lane And then she went to a vending machine to buy a candy cane But right next to that was a boy I knew with a spring in his hand Playing a country pinball machine called 'Stand By Your Man' I saw him talk to her but I stayed in my lane And played my game steady and was thinking of a day When I'd be too old to throw a ball this heavy
But I guess I'm young now so it's easier to knock 'em all down Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Then I looked and saw her say to him 'You're really hittin' that ball around' And he's lookin' at her the way I did when I first met her I could see in his face white flowers and cups of coffee and love letters
I was sorry to interrupt their game but I went and did it anyway I dropped my red bowling ball through the glass of his machine I said, 'Are you quick enough to hit this ball, Mr. clean?' I was scared to lose her so I couldn't help being mean
And that ended both of our games I said I was sorry But my girl left with him just the same I thought how much I hate when love makes me act this way I was bent over a broken pinball machine In a bowling alley and I threw it all away
Well isn't it all just a big game?
