Long Legged Sweet Thing-Chickenbone Slim-Copyright 2017

Man talk about cold
try a summer night
in the Santa Cruz hills

have yourself a drink
at the Apple Tree
you’re sure to get your fill

Then a long legged sweet thing
will come and take you away
to a warm place to slowly blow your mind
man you better stay

Took the black dog
to do his business
at the break of day

chased the geese
damn near half way
across the lake

when a long legged sweet thing
comes to take you away
to a warm place to patiently feed your soul
man you better stay

Won’t you come away
please sweet thing
please come away with me

the wild world is calling
lets go
and sail the sea

When a long legged sweet thing
smiles and takes your breath away
to warm place with the sweet thing you call home
man you better stay
you better stay
man you better stay
listen to me son
you better stay
