lyrics

He holds his guitar in his hands like a child,
his fingers move like silk on satin, it drives me wild
A cigarette is dangling from a smirk that grows with each passing note
into a heartbreaker's smile

That's my baby, isn't he cool?
a silver screen golden boy, oppressed by the man,
and lost in homemade constellations
He drives me crazy, the way that he moves
He's the light of my life, my pride and joy
I'll never love another man like him,
not my daddy, not the father, not you

My baby's soul is a diamond surrounded by coal
he says to me, 'Girl, I get high cause the world's so low'
He keeps his heart and his Luckys rolled up tight in his sleeve
I said, "Could you ever love me the way that you love the stage?"
I hear, "Baby girl, don't be naive"

But that's my baby, isn't he cool?
a silver screen golden boy, oppressed by the man,
and lost in homemade constellations
He drives me crazy, the way that he moves
He's the light of my life, my pride and joy
I'll never love another man like him,
not my daddy, not the father, not you

Oh and I wish I could shine for him like the lights do
cause when my eyes close, they're what keeps him real
Everyone tells me not to love you, but darling, I have to
cause you melt my heart and your words teach me how to feel
