Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Amy Leigh

source
You can't take the buzz
outta the bee
And you can't take the want
outta Amy Leigh

Her mama fed her honey milk
whenever baby cried
Now she got a bad sweet tooth
no man can satisfy

All the boys keep tryin'
to make her keen on them
Amy Leigh kissed one or two
then tossed them right back in

Her daddy tried to beat the want
outta Amy Leigh
He just wore out his own damn hand
gave up and let her be

The preacher called her sinner
said she gonna burn in Hell
Amy Leigh just smiled real nice
and said, "Well then, I will."

Coz you can't take the buzz
outta the bee
And no one's gonna take the want
outta Amy Leigh.
