I'm A Keeper - The Band Perry

Blue eyed Susans

Standing in a domino line

Falling in and out of love all the time

They’ll break your heart just to see a boy cry

But not me

I am a brown eyed loner

I march to my own drummer

I’m a piccolo owner and the labor of my mother’s love

Honey, you’d be a load off her mind

But with or without you

My only plan is to be free

With or without you

I’m still me

I’ll join a band and sing like a canary

Get out of here and change my name to Cherry

And every night I’ll thank Holy Mother Mary

I am a keeper

Oh, I am a keeper, baby

I am a keeper

Long stem roses

Standing in a vase by my bed

Standing tall like the dreams in my head

I’m not gonna live in this house until I’m dead

I like you a lot

'Cause you’re different a little

You got answers to my riddles

Your daddy is a pistol

And you are a son of a gun

I could be the daughter that he never wanted

But with or without you

I’ll buy a farm at the edge of the prairie

Live off the land and change my name to Cherry

And every night I’ll thank Holy Mother Mary

I am a keeper

Oh, I am a keeper, baby

I am a keeper

But with or without you

My only plan is to be free

With or without you

I’m still me

I’ll buy a sword and join the military

Cut my hair and change my name to Cherry

And every night I’ll thank Holy Mother Mary

I am a keeper

Oh, I am a keeper, baby

I am a keeper

Oh, I am a keeper, baby
