[Verse 1]
A broken promise I kept too long
A greasy shade and a curtain drawn
A broken glass and a heart gone wrong
That's my window on the world

[Verse 2]
A cup of coffee and a shaky hand
Waking up in a foreign land
Trying to act like I got something planned
That's my window on the world

[Chorus 1]
That's my window on the world
Could you stand a little closer, girl?
Don't let mama cut those curls
That's my window on the world

[Verse 3]
In broad daylight, that circus tent
Pulled up stakes, I don't know where it went
Closed, dark room with a busted vent
That's my window on the world

[Verse 4]
I think about you when I'm counting sheep
I think about you, then I can't sleep
I think the ocean is just so deep
That's my window on the world
[Chorus 2]
That's my window on the world
Could you stand a little closer, girl?
The Queen of Sheba meets the Duke of Earl
That's my window on the world

[Verse 5]
Down on Indiana Avenue
Wes and Jimmy, man, they played the blues
I guess they were only passin' through
That's my window on the world

[Chorus 1]
That's my window on the world
Could you stand a little closer, girl?
Don't let mama cut those curls
That's my window on the world

[Chorus 2]
That's my window on the world
Could you stand a little closer, girl?
The Queen of Sheba meets the Duke of Earl
That's my window on the world
