Grand Champion Steer

The way that you looked at the fair

The gleam in your eyes

Like you’d taken a dare

Right or wrong

It was a sin not to stare

Silver the tilt-a-whirl tossed

So many times

That our bearings were lost

We rolled on

Regardless of cost

Grand champion steer

I was waiting for wings to appear

All day long i kept holding you near

I kept holding you near



Higher the Matterhorn climbed

I’d always imagined

That mountain was mine

The sides were bent

So I missed every time

This is heaven

The megaphone said

So many times

That it went to my head

But the line moved on

And the moment was dead

Grand champion steer

I was waiting for wings to appear

All day long i kept holding you near

I kept holding you near



The way that you looked

The affair

Was so goddamn obvious

But I wasn’t there

Me I was off spinning life

Out of wishes and air

Grand champion steer

I was waiting for wings to appear

All day long i kept holding you near

I kept holding you near
