The Kansas Painter -working title
'The Kansas Painter'
They made love in the Eiffel tower
Back in 1959
He was pushin' 80
When he told us of that time
We were young why shouldn't we
Do what we were meant
Before you know it the chance is gone
And you wonder where it went
She had come from Norway
He was from the Kansas plains
They never met again
But that memory fueled two flames
He still gets a card on his birthday
50 years postcards of France
He mentions it softly as he paints new lines
And it makes his blue eyes dance
Everyone's an artist
Though some may never know
We're all ignorant by choice
It's free to come and go
So take your art
And stand your ground
And be what you intend
Unless you think God gave you life
To just be ordinary men

Here's the final verse....
'So take your art
And stand your ground
Thought at times it can be scary
Unless you believe God gave you life
To just be ordinary.....'
