Mean Mary - Where Were You

Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the music video of Mean Mary singing and playing banjo on a train. Her 'Newest' song "Where Were You" I just wrote. It was originally going to be a banjo instrumental but before I got started on the idea some words came to me and it sort of took a life of it's own."

"where were you" lyrics & music: Mary James
Lyrics
"You say I’ve aged just like cherry wine
And you wanna press your drunken lips on mine
Well forbidden fruit tastes sweet when you are young
You don’t care about the pain until the bee has stung

(Chorus)
Where were you when I was calling
Where were you when I was naïve
Where were you when I was falling
Gentle like the dogwood leaves
Where were you when I was simple
Where were you when I was kind
Pulling up the wildflowers for you
Where were you when I was blind

What happened to that girl who played with fireflies
Always looking up to you with her heart in her eyes
Well it only takes one shot to fear a gun
And few drops of sweat can make you dread the sun
Dread the burning sun

(Chorus)

Where were you . . ."
