sparkle and shine (acoustic live) - steve earle lyrics

[intro]
which brings us to the chick song portion of the program, um
i write these songs on purpose, i have as long as i’ve been doin’ this goin’ back to when i was, like, you know, fourteen
and, you know, i was that pain in the ass that brought my guitar to every party i ever went to
and my, uh, my, uh, my first audiences were pretty much exclusively between three and five girls
it was like, i grew up, i grew up in texas and, and i didn’t, i, and i didn’t play football, so this was my only shot
so i was like the best route i discovered was get yourself declared an honorary girl
and i got, i got to go places the football players never got to go, so, uh
it was, uh, and i knew a lot of rolling stones songs and, and bob dylan songs
but the truth is that mick jagger and bob dylan scared the f*ck out of fourteen*year*old girls, so
i learned a lot of donovan songs, man, and, uh
’cause it worked, and, uh
jesse callin’ me out, so, uh, uh
i, uh, and i’m not above repurposing a song i’ve wrote for one girl and using it on another girl, it is my intellectual property after all
and i’ve heard women actually argue about which song is about who and i
i never have the heart to tell ’em they’re all about me
even this one

[chorus]
my baby sparkle and shine
sparkle and shine, sparkle and shine
my baby sparkle and shine
everyone knows she’s fine

[verse 1]
she blesses all that she sees
toss of her hair and a kiss in the breeze
she don’t love no one but me
i can’t believe she’s mine
shimmerin’, she moves
sunlight all around her
even when she’s blue
silver clouds surround her
[chorus]
my baby sparkle and shine
sparkle and shine, sparkle and shine
my baby sparkle and shine
everyone knows she’s fine

[verse 2]
my baby swings down the street
big, tall high*heel shoes on her feet
walks by and my heart skips a beat
stumblin’ like a fool
she give me somethin’ so sweet
i can’t sleep, y’all, and i can’t eat
sparks fly whenever we meet
i’m breathless ’cause she’s so cool

[bridge]
anywhere she goes
i can only follow
she’ll be there, i know
when i awake tomorrow

[chorus]
my baby sparkle and shine
sparkle and shine, sparkle and shine
my baby sparkle and shine
everyone knows she’s fine
and everyone knows she’s mine
