BARLEY STATION - Keep Me High

Keep Me High

(words and music by Brian Olen Kious and Randy Wayne Belt)

Won't you sing me a song about all the stars up there in the sky,

and sing to me about how they'll fall on us one day and we'll die,

but sing to me about how that's a million years from now, so don't cry,

don't worry, don't fret, don't wring your hands, 'cause I am right by your side?

Yeah, I know that you could put a curse on me.

Now I see you're not trying to be some beauty queen.

But you could keep me high all day smiling.

You could keep me high, oh, for awhile

And if you would fall down I'd catch you in my arms

Oh, you could keep me high

Busses stall and airplanes fall and cars go way too fast.

Who made who before I made you? And are we made to last?

But there are shooting stars on the Mesabi Range and they're all aiming to please

From the Cup of Christ to a Death Card Change, we're leaving so throw me your keys

Yeah, I know that you could put a curse on me.

Now I see you're not trying to be some beauty queen.

But you could keep me high all day smiling.

You could keep me high, oh, for awhile

And if you would fall down I'd catch you in my arms

Oh, you could keep me high - Oh, you could keep me high

Yeah, keep me high!

[instrumental break]

You could keep me high all day smiling.

You could keep me high, oh, for awhile

We could talk all night, you could lie here in my arms

Oh, you could keep me high

Yeah, keep me high!
