Buckdance Lyrics

Buckdance
Words by Shawn Mullins

What I'd give to be you for an hour or two
Oh tell me a story of fortune and glory things I
Never knew for I am the hungry and I am the poor�
I've got one foot outside where the world is alive�
And the other foot nailed to the floor�
But it's always the one with the terrible past who surprises me most
Who puts himself last - five nights in hell and a forty day fast�
I remember her well tho I don't know her name�
Her touch was a river so cold made me shiver and shake with disdain�
And I'll never know why you chose me to haunt�
But I'll say what I can hoping you'll understand that it's not you I want.
