lyrics

She’s like a vision locked in the rocks
Like a trade secret hidden in a Chinese box
She dreams of the Old West and hombres who drew faster
Who’d never back down even in the face of disaster
But it’s all a dream in every last detail

Just like her old friend Tommy when the trailer hitch broke
Up and left everything he owned ‘cause he thought it was a joke
She’d throw it all away even her earrings and scarves,
That necklace from Morocco, and her antique Tarot cards
‘Cause it’s all a dream in every last detail

Twenty-first century Wild West outlaw Belle Starr
Stuck in a port town in the Great Northwest
Her smile is broken and no one to give it repair
I reach out my hand and she disappears

She thinks like a poet but she acts like an idiot
She ain’t got no car and she ain’t got no home
She’s got an old guitar and she plays it so well
She’s got some songs to sing and a story to tell
But it’s all a dream in every last detail

Her best friend’s a whiskey and her church could be a barstool
Her visions are tyrants that got her locked in the rocks
She could be a queen covered in garlands and pearls
But a flea market soul keeps on calling her home
And it’s just like a dream in every last detail

Twenty-first century Wild West outlaw Belle Starr
Abandoned and stranded under a northern sky
Her old man don’t love her but she could never leave him
Her dreams left like stains on a wedding gown
Her dreams left like stains on her wedding gown
