Black Eye'd Kind of Love

from Reamericana EP by Daniel Miller

about

I've always been pleased about how many details of the story I was able to tell in this song with such a relative economy of words. As for the story, I made it up.

lyrics

The moon is on the rise, the sun set long ago
I sit on the hood of our Chevy drinking rum and Co’
I’d cry if daddy hadn’t removed my ability when I was 10
I’d hit something hard if it weren’t for that broken bone already in my hand

The waves washed away our castles long ago this morning
And we packed up our things and headed back to the hotel, laid around being boring
We had some dinner and you said you were leaving
And you were taking the kids and moving in with your mother in Cleveland

This is a black eyed kinda love
This is a black eyed kinda love
And it obviously doesn’t matter to no God above
Cuz this is a black eyed kinda love

Well your love was dead and gone since last Christmas
Mine being a mule stuck around for a much longer amount of time
But now the moon and the people are making their way down south
And when you turned one last time these are the words that came out of your mouth

It was 10 years ago to the day, just 18 years of age
You knew about my temper, I knew your dad was a leper
He passed out at the reception, put the ire in my predilection
I broke that bottle of Maddog 20/20 and said “Let this be a lesson.”
