lyrics

Lyrics by Bonnie Whitmore Startlet&Dog SESAC

She seems uncommonly open
With her toe tapping now
Satin pillows stained between shoulders
Keepin the rhythm with her smile

Twirl that shirt girl
Make em feel what it’s like to hold ya
Behind brown eyes hides the grave for love
She buried it twice

Chorus
Put your boots on and bury your pearls
Be the Mary to your Neverland
Fly high up past the neon
Sleep on the satin, wishing for cotton sheets tonight

He’s the poor fool, in love with a stranger
That’s the danger of letting hearts fly
Now he’s got arrows stuck in him
Tagged by the archer who’s never denied

Chorus
Put your boots on and bury your pearls
Be the Peter to your Neverland
Fly high, up past the neon
Wishing for satin, sleeping on cotton sheets tonight

Bridge
Blood spills the woman
Who shelters in her innocent child
But who’s heart is to broken
To bend to any one man

Chorus
Put your boots on and bury your pearls
Be the Mary to your Neverland
Fly high up past the neon
Sleep on the cotton sheets tonight
