Another one from Deb Talan and Steve Tannen, the husband-wife team known as The Weepies. I posted about them a few weeks ago. In this song, Tannen sings about money in his pocket, a past regret in his closet, the love in his wife's eyes, the troubles he put behind him--and the fact that he has to keep it all there. Good stuff. From the 2002 project, Happiness--
Keep It There
Got three dollars burning in my pocket, I know I know
Got three dollars burning in my pocket, I know I know
I got, I got, I got to keep it there.
Got an old ghost locked in my closet, I know I know
Got an old ghost locked in my closet, I know I know
I got, I got, I got to keep it there.
Came down on a bottle rocket
Found my heart right where I locked it
Last night like rain on chalk
It's gone like money in my pocket.
See those stars shining in your eyes and I know I know
See those stars shining in your eyes and I know I know
I got, I got, I got to keep it there.
Came down on a bottle rocket
Found my heart right where I locked it
Last night like rain on chalk
It's gone like money in my pocket.
All my troubles in the rear view mirror, I know I know
All my troubles in the rear view mirror, I know I know
I got, I got, I got to keep them there.
