Hole in the Head - Eric Stuart Band, Eddie Bayers, Eric Stuart

I was talking to a friend of mine

about how I’d lost my faith.

My bird of paradise

had gone and flown away.

He gave me some advice,

said I’m better off alone.

Was a blessing in disguise

that the bird had flown.

Cause I need a woman

like I need a hole in my head.

Walking 'cross a firing line, yeah

Everybody’s got their say.

To lead someone else’s life, well,

seems easier in a way.

Started thinking he might be right, yeah

I could make it on my own.

Soft music and candlelight

will pave the road to the Devil’s home.

Cause I need a woman

like I need a hole in my head.

Then I saw you baby, and you looked so fine.

Legs so long and lips that made me lose my mind.

And the more I thought about it, his words rang true.

Just like my friend said, I need another hole in my head.

Staring into space last night, yeah,

up to the evening sky.

A shooting star cast a light

that opened up my eyes.

I sat back and I cracked a smile,

cause then it all made sense:

A bitter man builds a wall

where a smart man climbs a fence.

Cause I need a woman

like I need a hole in my head.

Then I saw you baby, and you looked so fine.

Legs so long and lips that made me lose my mind.

And the more I thought about it, his words rang true.

Just like my friend said, I need another hole in my head.
