Clever as Always - Stan Barker (Original)

Clever as Always ©2011 Stan Barker - KC Turner Songwriting Club
Lyrics: She was a blonde Southern belle in a cold Northern town.
I was troublesome punk and a bit of a clown
She was a tomboy at heart with a confident way
We'd explore each other at the end of the day
(I still think of her at the end of the day)

Through the years we grew as close as could be
We carved our initials in a heart on a tree
At college we'd write letters and seal them with wax
We were steady and true as a train on its tracks

Chorus:
She was clever as always
Just about as smart as she could be
She was clever as always
The smartest thing she did was leaving me

We got married on a beach, built a house by the lake
Put off having kids for our careers sake
It all seemed so perfect as "perfect" can be
But love is anything but, I think most would agree.

Now the years had started taking their toll
Our sum was no longer the parts of a whole
Our initials in the heart are still there by the tracks
She left me with a letter and sealed with wax

Chorus:
She was clever as always
Just about as smart as she could be
She was clever as always
The smartest thing she did was leaving me

This is fantastic. When is the LP coming out? What happened to the kittie?
