Chuquai Billy

Was it long ago or was it just today
When I saw you in the rain
Looking for someone to ease your pain;
Standing beneath the crying sky
I should have kept on walking by
I wanted your touch, I wanted to know what that look was in your eye?

I shoulda kept it to myself.

I been on the road on a three-day run
Trying to stay a step ahead of a Trump fool and his gun.
How do you get a compassionate tear from a hysterical bigot in tactical gear?
I don’t have the time for your traditional lover’s game
I don’t want to lose your love, ain’t it a crying shame!

I shoulda kept it to myself.

I have to get myself together
Get back on the road
If I lose another day, know there will be hell to pay

I shoulda kept things to myself.
