A classy man drops into the farm

Lyrics

Gilt Edged Proposition
Verse 1
Now out in the country where I work my land
Not too many folk drop by
Livin next door?s like miles away
So that?s good reason why
To add to the troubles there?s a drought goin on
And the creeks not the only thing dry
There?s no water in the tank no money in the bank
It?s enough to make a country girl cry
Verse 2
Then out of the blue came the sound of a motor
More smooth than I?ve heard before
Turned up the drive it was headin my way
So I perched in my front door
Now who the heck is this crossed through my mind
That?s some cool motor for sure
It was gettin close by so I cleared my eyes
To set m?self for what was in store
Chorus
I saw a gilt edged proposition
When he drove right to my door
A wide white smile and a husky hi
Caught my fancy that?s for sure
And the car that he was drivin was so damn long
It?s still comin as he?s shakin my hand
All a?tremblin so I can?t catch my breath
Through lookin at a gilt edged man
Verse 3
I took a little drive in my brand new car
My gilt edged stranger said
I started out west and three days on
The mornin sky turned red
I decided to keep drivin til I reached that sky
And underneath it make my bed
Take a look behind you it?s a?top of the roof
Of that fallin down old farm shed
Verse 4
I don?t mind campin beneath the stars
But the red sky spells big rain
It?s gonna bucket down for a couple a days
At least and then again
Might last for a week fill up that creek
I told him it?d be best plan
To bed down underneath my roof
This wide smile gilt edged man
Chorus
I saw a gilt edged proposition
When he parked right by my door
A wide white smile and a husky hi
Caught my fancy that?s for sure
And the car that he was drivin was so damn long
It?s still comin as he?s shakin my hand
All a?tremblin so I can?t catch my breath
Through lookin at a gilt edged man

Finale
I saw a gilt edged proposition
I was groovin with a gilt edged man
I saw a gilt edged proposition
I was groovin with a gilt edged man
