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)
