When My Hair Was Long - Kaia

I got struck by lightning in my bones

Went speeding through my body lookin' for a place to go

Shot out through my fingers and my toes

Now where it’s gone nobody knows

Sittin' around listenin' to country songs

Wondering why I haven’t been on a horse in so long

Go back a century hitch my horse up to a post

Say goodbye to cars and the dead things on the side of the road

Ah when I grow old will you sit beside me and I’ll play some songs

About the good days when I felt such loss

When my hair was long and my stride was strong

I like dancin' to songs from the early 90's

Or anything with four on the floor

When you stop by on your way back from Kenya

We can bust out wonder and kick down the door

Remember those times we fought like elk in rut

Remember those times when you stole the breath from my gut

Remember how hard we loved and how hard we hurt

It’s been 4 years I’m still sleeping in your shirt

Ah when I grow old will you sit beside me and I’ll play some songs

About the good days when I felt such loss

When my hair was long and my stride was strong
