Calico Girlfriend - Michael Nesmith, The First National Band

Me and my calico girlfriend

Starting a set of new rules

Watching the stars as they drop in

Making the nighttime approve

Wandering over a roadway

Changing the signs of the times

Looking for love and a new day

Seeing with more than our eyes

Keeper of men and the shadows

Follow us up to the top

Taking the latch off the window

Giving us more than we drop

Me and my calico girlfriend

Suddenly stare at the face

Of time and its hope that we’ll win

Then softly drop out of the race

Keeper of men and the shadows

Follow us up to the top

Taking the latch off the window

Giving us more than we drop

Me and my calico girlfriend

Suddenly stare at the face

Of time and its hope that we’ll win

Then softly drop out of the race
