Lyrics

Mean Demeanor

On my way to the bar, she was two steps ahead
heels clickin' hard on the stones
When I stumbled inside and my face turned red
when I saw that she wasn't alone
And nonetheless how had she guessed I'd been sizing her up from behind?
She paused on the stairs and shot me a glare
that couldn't be mistaken for kind

Have you seen her mean demeanor? It's chilling to the core
Have you seen her mean demeanor? It's meaner than before

On my way to the farm she was 2 lengths ahead
Wheels kickin' up dust in my view
On a gravelley road that her family had owned since 1972.
When the morning had come, after all we had done
I made a gettaway as soon as I could
Years after that, across you I sat,
But the news that you brought wasn't good

You left a note inside my coat with a picture framed in blue
Never saw him before 'til I knocked on your door
and he opened it for you
I never knew...

Have you seen her mean demeanor? It's chilling to the core
Have you seen her mean demeanor? It's meaner than before
