about

This song was a challenge from a friend to write a song using a slide

lyrics

There's a girl I know
She's from Tokyo
I met her on line
Man is she fine
And one day I'm gonna go
I'll sell my truck
For 800 bucks
And a ticket to Tokyo

And when I get there
I'll finally cut my hair
We'll go to a sushi bar
and drive in small cars
And sing karaoke all night
I'll tell her the truth
About my font tooth and how I lost it in a bar fight

Won't someone tell me how I can win this girl's heart
Some say that love is a science some say it's an art

She says:
I need you more than a bed needs linen
I'm dizzier than a top that's spinning
I'm on a train and it's movin' faster
Tryin' to avoid another disaster

Well I finally went
My whole wad was spent
The girl was a guy
It was all a big lie
I fell for the evil plan
I should have known
By the mustache she'd grown
And the pink triangle on the van

Won't somebody tell me how I can get out of this place?
I came here for love now I must leave in disgrace.

She says:
I need you more than a bed needs linen
I'm dizzier than a top that's spinning
I'm on a train and it's movin' faster
Tryin' to avoid another disaster

The moral of this story of love
Don't believe what you see
Take it from me
Stay away from those online sites
The prettiest girl in all of the world
Is probably some dude in disguise

Song writing came naturally to Ben and he wrote songs at age 13 as soon as he learned guitar. Most of them sucked, but avail he did ... more
