One Or Two Of These Things — Vance Gilbert

If you were a movie

I would be the rest of the story

Teeny little bits and pieces

Scattered ‘cross the cutting room floor

If you were a picture

I would be the crack in the sheetrock wall

Right where the nail went in

Never quite strong enough to hold

If you were a championship home run

I would be the centerfielder’s glove

That never heard the cheer for the catch

That never stood a chance with your love

If you see you in these things

In even one or two of these things

If you were a racing car

I would be your racing car tire

Happy going round and round

While you set the track on fire

If you were a summer breeze

I would be your squeaky screen door

That the kids that we dreamed of having

Let slam while they run through laughing

If you were nineteen ninety-three

When you up and hit the road

If you were the Queen of Heartbreak City

If I had the patience of Job

(Chorus)

If you were my very last day on earth

And you spent it sleeping

I would tiptoe through this town

Murder anybody that made a sound

(Chorus)
