LOVEBALL

Shelton's ode to the greatest masterpiece makers of all time.

LOVEBALL
Aurora liquor store foothills bound.
Rockies in rearview no Cali gold found.
B.a.c. iffy but needed cooler nerves.
Lightyears of plains who cares who swerves?

Turned to Kentucky to repair old plans.
Cursed and lucky a scared free man.
In lone wolves all smokies smell.
Troubled selves if not trouble itself.

I was bracelet free but lost lakes of sweat.
Mile high sheriff left what the Kansas cop kept.
My outta state plates a low magnet sin.
I was seeing straight but blind to what was happening.

There must have been
a Denver Colorado Loveball.
Up in Denver.
A Denver Colorado Loveball.

How was I to know a super nova’s going on?

Same ’08 leaving east memories.
Only rebels run west.
That’s just me.
I’d never bet such a jewell pair met.
I was just another fool climbing seventy.

Mary Wells crooned two lovebirds do.
What makes a loner’s head unscrew.
You miss the goosebump views Deutschendorf sang.
When no co-lover relieves the reigns.

And log cabin mountain retreats don’t greet.
Lost outlaws, cold, and fleeing heat.
My warm resort a backseat bed.
And that broke loser woulda laughed
Had someone said,

There had been a
Denver Colorado Loveball.
Up in Denver.
A Denver Colorado Loveball.
In Denver Colorado.

How was I to know a super nova’s going on.
In Denver, Denver, Colorado.

I was cutting class in philosophy hall then
In Denver. Denver, Colorado. Loveball.

My blurred eyes on my miles.
Not destiny calling in Denver.
Denver, Colorado. Loveball.

I’d never guess my favorite art’s forming
In Denver. Denver, Colorado.

It’s a Loveball. In Denver Colorado.
