She Played Piano - Langhorne Slim

She played piano and I sang along

I could not believe all those old songs she knew

She kissed me in her kitchen as she unplugged the phone

She was sweet, warm, and tender, her parent’s weren’t home

Bad news came in the morning, we went out for a drive

There’s a tornado warning, she held on to me tight

As rolled into town there wasn’t a single soul lurkin'

So we hit the highway, my head started hurtin'

She don’t want it to be

She don’t want it to be

She don’t want it to be, nay

She don’t want it to be

As the wind began swirling and doing its thing

I noticed my gal was twirling an engagement ring

She said, «Didn't you know I’ve been married twice before?»

But I had no idea and pushed the pedal to the floor

Her brother’s ex-lover lived on Diablo Hell

And invited us over for some coffee and pills

Things soon got reckless then out came the sun

I decided to follow it looking for somewhere, for someone

She don’t want it to be

She don’t want it to be

She don’t want it to be, nay

She don’t want it to be

(La, la, la, la la, etc)

She don’t want it to be

She don’t want it to be

She don’t want it to be, nay

She don’t want it to be
