John Butler Trio - Kimberley - live lyrics

Tell you a story, about a girl named Kimberly Who all the cowboys wanted cause she was wild and free But now theres fussing and theres fighting We all taking sides While the cowboys are playing their old games of conquer and divide You see Kimberly was special, a rare and wild soul Nearly every man who met her, their hearts she always stole But there are always those exceptions of the cold and callous kind That wanted just her body and leave the mess for us behind Where do i stand? Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the sand It's all gray. There are no black and whites so who am I to say I said yes I am I am and I belong Cause I got my land and I got my song Yes I am I am and I am strong Cause I got my land and I got my song Now the prince of the cowboys, his name was Barnett He wanted to leave his mark, you know, so we did not forget So he said "Mine mine mine, all for me" It's great to be a cowboy in the wild west roaming free So he brandished all his bullets he put a gun right to our head He said "I'm giving you all a choice, you're either with me or your dead See, i got to have this kin, i can't get her off my mind And I ain't gonna stop until shes mine, mine" Where do i stand? Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the sand It's all gray. There are no black and whites so who am I to say I said yes I am I am and I belong Cause I got my land and I got my song Yes I am I am and I am strong Cause I got my land all I got's my song Now its come to a showdown and its all push and pull Got these lawyers having field day while the cowboys are funding schools I guess it boils down to how you see it, do you see Kimberly Or just another god damn hole in the ground just another opportunity? Where do I stand? Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the sand It's all gray, there are no black and whites So who am I to say? You are wrong but you never know what you got until its gone And one day the little people will ask what you did and what we said I said yes I am I am and I belong Cause I got my land and I got my song Yes I am I am and I am strong Cause I got my land and I got my song
