lyrics

If Kisses Were Currency
Surely girl I would be
Rich as a man could be
Rich as a man could be
Your pretty glance
Was a hit down in France
Where they don't wear no clothes
They just let the breeze blow
If you were the event
Oh girl I'd hop the fence
I would risk my whole life for you
And Id do it twice

If your smile was gold
I would fill my bill fold
Till it burst at the seam
And tore a hole in my jeans
I couldn't stand I'd have to lean
Oh how embarrassing
I hope my cell phone don't ring
And all the while I'd just sing


If Kisses Were Currency
Surely girl I would be
Rich as a man could be
Rich as a man could be
Your pretty glance
Was a hit down in France
Where they don't wear no clothes
They just let the breeze blow
If you were the event
Oh girl I'd hop the fence
I would risk my whole life for you
And Id do it twice

It's your story tell it
And I'd bottle and sell it
If I thought it would sell
I'd buy this hotel
Although it really aint that nice
The shower was cold as ice
and the food tasted bland
and our waitress was a man
The bellboy was high
I could tell by his eyes
I saw him run into a wall
I don't know how he didn't fall
He went head over back
But never once lost his hat
He must be an acrobat
But if he can do that
He shouldn't be workin' here
Making fifteen bucks a year
Carrying bags for rich folks
Spending all his money on dope
And if he just had a dream
And a little self-esteem
He'd get on out of here
No where was I at
I really must be gettin' back
But if I remember right it was the middle of the night
And I was holdin ya
holdin ya
holdin ya tight

If Kisses Were Currency
Surely girl I would be
Rich as a man could be
Rich as a man could be

Ben Balivet Anchorage, Alaska

Ben Balivet learned to be musical by watching his older siblings and listening to a ton of vinyl while growing up on the East Coast and in Alaska. Ben settled on the guitar and piano after having taken lessons on the bagpipe (practice chanter), drums and the recorder. 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
