Title: An Honest Life

A handsome young man walked into town,
On the way to the east, but the sun was going down.
He spent the night in a barn, on a bed of hay,
Next day, he strolled in a café for a pie and a cola.

In the heat of the moment, when his eyes met Stella,
Cupid shot him with his bow and arrow,
And his spirit took flight, in the heavens with the sparrows,
Amidst bells, jingles, and carols.

But his heart is seeking a turn of fortune,
Too afraid of what love can do to a fool with a dream.
Yet the pull is as strong as a current,
And now he's wondering when he has substance.

In the country everything moves so slow,
But love makes the time move real fast, you know.
It steers a man's dreams aside for reality,
'Cause an honest life is all a man needs to be.

He knows well, boys are dreamers,
And the heart drifts when it meets a screamer.
Now Stella's got him backpedalling,
Love is flourishing, but his dream is stalling.

In the country everything moves so slow,
But love makes the time move real fast, you know.
It steers a man's dreams aside for reality,
'Cause an honest life is all a man needs to be.

Yeah, an honest life is all a man needs to be.
Oh, an honest life is all a man needs to be.
