lyrics
THE HEIDI GAME
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2006)
We could sit, I could tell you a story
About all the things that we've done wrong
We could go on and on forever
We could sit here all night long
I bet I could tell you a story
About something that I've done worse
And if it even really happened
A conscience is a blessing
The rest is a curse
It's the Heidi Game
Heaven Texas
All your ex's are in Texas but Colorado is your grave
And If you could tell me a story
Call collect from Texas on the phone
In that voice that just got out of rehab
Reading me three-page poems
You said that you had some old photographs
And you and me when I was a kid
We lived with you when my dad
Got kicked out of the house
By my stepmom
When I was twelve
It's the Heidi Game
