From the recording Souvenirs
Lyrics
Square ©
It came as no surprise when I got home today to find
My brown leather suitcase sitting out by the gate
Little note hanging on the side said let’s save the bittersweet goodbyes
Here is all your junk, and the rest of it is mine
Look up at that two-story town home
Filled to the brim with her gotta-haves and wants
I just smile as I look to see
What’d she leave in here for me? Well, let’s see…
I’ve got six cold beers in a brown paper sack, broke down boots and my worn-out hat
I’ve got an old Georgia map, and a little green
I’ve got the greatest hits of David Allan Coe, Alabama, and Confederate Railroad
I’ve got the early morning air. As far as I’m concerned, baby, we are square
I grab up that satchel and I turn to go
I thought about walking up, but there’s nothing in there for me anymore
I’ll hang on to my pride, she can keep her brand name stuff
And I’ll leave behind another time when our love was enough
And I’ll leave my heart, but that’s okay
The damn thing was broken anyway
Doesn’t matter much to me, I’ve got
Everything a ramblin’ man needs
I’ve got six cold beers in a brown paper sack, broke down boots and my worn-out hat
I’ve got an old Georgia map, and a little green
I’ve got Lynyrd Skynyrd and Jerry Reid, Allman Brothers and Earle Thomas Conley
I’ve got the early morning air. As far as I’m concerned baby, we are square
Let her keep the TV, the sofa and the memories
All that would just weigh me down
I’ve got my entertainment, my comfort and my payment
For everything that I’ve been through
I’ve got six cold beers in a brown paper sack, broke down boots and my worn-out hat
I’ve got an old Georgia map, and a little green, you know what I mean
I’ve got Merle and Johnny, Waylon, Willie, right next to Metallica and Ozzy
I’ve got the early morning air
As far as I’m concerned baby, don’t go wasting a second thought on me
Cuz as far as I’m concerned baby, we are square.
