Hand-Me-Down and Rust

New Song,  a little take off on the tin man and Dorothy from the wizard of oz.  A fun little ditty.

How it Goes

Here’s a story of a broken man,
Just pieces of an old tin can,
Lost his heart,
We know,
     how this goes.

Was as high as a kite can go,
Was as sure as mistletoe,
Turned his head, and
never
     saw her go

Now he’s stuck like rust,
And carries a great big hole.
And everything he trusts,
Goes round and round and round,
Til it’s gone,
     aint that
           how it goes.

Here’s a story of a wayward girl,
incomplete and lost her world,
With shiny shoes,
      hand me down.

She’s got a basket ,She puts love in,
Skips along until she needs some,
Reaches in,
     But it’s gone.

And she feels so alone
Like she’s in a great big hole
When it starts to feel like home
It goes round and round and round
Til it’s gone,
     ain’t that
           how it goes.

Aint love a mess
when it’s got a job to do,
If you can’t treat it best,
it won’t be there for you, and
An oil can and a witch,
     is what you get.


a tin man and a wayward girl,
Skipping through a mixed up world,
Looking for what they’re
too afraid,
     To give.
Hand me down and rust,
On a quest to save themselves,
On a road so long,
It goes round and round and round,
Til it’s gone,
     Aint that,
          how it goes.
