Kimberley - John Butler Trio

Tell you a story, about a girl named Kimberly

Who all the cowboys wanted cause she was wild and free

But now theres fussing and theres fighting

We all taking sides

While the cowboys are playing their old games of conquer and divide

You see Kimberly was special, a rare and wild soul

Nearly every man who met her, their hearts she always stole

But there are always those exceptions of the cold and callous kind

That wanted just her body and leave the mess for us behind

Where do i stand?

Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the sand

It’s all gray.

There are no black and whites so who am I to say

I said yes I am I am and I belong

Cause I got my land and I got my song

Yes I am I am and I am strong

Cause I got my land and I got my song

Now the prince of the cowboys, his name was Barnett

He wanted to leave his mark, you know, so we did not forget

So he said «Mine mine mine, all for me»

It’s great to be a cowboy in the wild west roaming free

So he brandished all his bullets he put a gun right to our head

He said «I'm giving you all a choice, you’re either with me or your dead

See, i got to have this kin, i can’t get her off my mind

And I ain’t gonna stop until shes mine, mine»

Where do i stand?

Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the sand

It’s all gray.

There are no black and whites so who am I to say

I said yes I am I am and I belong

Cause I got my land and I got my song

Yes I am I am and I am strong

Cause I got my land all I got’s my song

Now its come to a showdown and its all push and pull

Got these lawyers having field day while the cowboys are funding schools

I guess it boils down to how you see it, do you see Kimberly

Or just another god damn hole in the ground just another opportunity?

Where do I stand?

Got this hole in my heart and a line drawn in the sand

It’s all gray, there are no black and whites

So who am I to say?

You are wrong but you never know what you got until its gone

And one day the little people will ask what you did and what we said

I said yes I am I am and I belong

Cause I got my land and I got my song

Yes I am I am and I am strong

Cause I got my land and I got my song
