Blue banisters

[00:02.23] Of me on a John Deere

[00:04.36] Jenny handed me a beer

[00:05.95] Said, "How the hell did you get there?"

[00:08.61] Oh, Oklahoma

[00:13.49] Mm-mm, mm

[00:18.27] There were flowers that were dry

[00:20.93] Sittin' on the dresser

[00:22.52] She asked me where they're from

[00:24.38] I said, "A place I don't remember"

[00:27.28] Oh, Oklahoma (Oh-oh)

[00:36.60] Jenny jumped into the pool

[00:38.71] She was swimmin' with Nikki Lane

[00:40.56] She said, "Most men don't want a woman

[00:43.22] With a legacy, it's of age"

[00:45.34] She said "You can't be a muse and be happy, too

[00:49.59] You can't blacken the pages with Russian poetry

[00:54.11] And be happy"

[01:02.45] And that scared me

[01:10.41] 'Cause I met a man who

[01:12.80] Said he'd come back every May

[01:17.32] Just to help me if I'd paint my banisters blue

[01:25.29] Blue banisters, ooh

[01:30.63] Said he'd fix my weathervane

[01:34.88] Give me children, take away my pain

[01:38.87] And paint my banisters blue

[01:43.12] My banisters blue

[01:47.69] There's a hole that's in my heart

[01:49.81] All my women try and heal

[01:52.21] They're doin' a good job

[01:54.06] Convincin' me that it's not real

[01:56.99] It's heat lightning, oh-oh-oh, oh

[02:05.68] 'Cause there's a man that's in my past

[02:08.33] There's a man that's still right here

[02:11.06] He's real enough to touch

[02:12.58] In my darkest nights, he's shinin'

[02:19.22] Ooh-ooh-ooh

[02:24.00] Jenny was smokin' by the pool

[02:26.93] We were writin' with Nikki Lane

[02:28.79] I said I'm scared of the Santa Clarita Fires

[02:32.24] I wish that it would rain

[02:33.83] I said the power of us three can bring absolutely anything

[02:38.35] Except that one thing

[02:40.48] The diamonds, the rust, and the rain

[02:50.57] The thing that washes away the pain

[02:59.33] But that's okay, 'cause

[03:02.26] Now when weather turns to May

[03:06.77] All my sisters come to paint my banisters green

[03:14.74] My blue banisters grey

[03:20.58] Tex and Mex are in the Bay

[03:25.36] Chucky's makin' birthday cake

[03:29.35] Chickens runnin', bare feet, there's a baby on the way

[03:34.40] And now my blue banisters are green and grey, ah-ah

[03:47.41] Summer comes, winter goes

[03:51.93] Spring, I skip, God knows

[03:56.44] Summer comes, winter goes

[04:00.96] Spring, I sleep, Heaven knows

[04:06.80] Every time it turns to May

[04:11.32] All my sisters fly to me

[04:15.30] To paint, paint
