Patrick Fitzsimmons: Lyrics

She got long brown hair
She lives in the apartment at the top of the stairs
I see her coming in, and Lord I watch her go

She is tall and lean
Movin’ so fast I can hardly see
She’s a teacher and a waitress and a biker and a hiker too.
And we say hello
And we say goodbye
And we make small talk as we pass each other by

But I am older than she
By how many years is a mystery
I don’t even wanna know
But she seems so much older than her age
And I am so much younger than mine
If we could meet in the middle I bet we’d have a real good time
If we could meet in the middle I bet we’d have a real good time.
She got long brown hair!

Late one night
I was sittin’ underneath the old porch light
She was comin’ in from work, lookin’ beat and a little down
“Shitty tips” she said “and everybody was so mean”
I felt bad for her as she talked and walked past me.
And I wanted to say:
“Well, sit down girl
Let me brighten up your world
Get ya a nice cold beer, maybe play you a sweet old song”
But I said, not a word. You know I was full of doubt.
I wanted to bring her up but I didn’t want to freak her out.

For I am older than she
By how many years, is a mystery
I don’t even wanna  know
But she is seems so much older than her age.
And I am so much younger than mine
If we could meet in the middle I bet we’d have a real good time
If we could meet in the middle I bet we’d have a real good time
She got long brown hair!

She got long brown hair
She lives in the apartment at the top of the stairs
I see her comin’ in and Lord I watch her go
I watch her go
