Fat Cat Joe & The Vagabond Town Council - Deana Kissed Me

Deana kissed me when we met, her lips so soft and warm and wet
And from that moment all my plans were reassessed
I quit the band, I quit the bars, then I sold three of my guitars
To buy a ring that would convince her to say: "yes"

All my friends said: "boy, you lost my mind," and her's said even worse
Is that the best man you can find in the whole dang universe

Say I'm crazy, say I'm mad, say I don't know what I had
Say that fame and fortune's spotlight barely missed me
Say I'm lazy, say it's sad, somehow, I don't feel so bad
All them things are true, but add . . . Deana kissed me

Deana kissed me at the altar, in front of God and mom and Walter
Their expressions showed concern about my fate
Then, down the road about half a mile I got me another with a little more style
And that one pretty much ended all debate

All my friends said: "see ya round sometime," but none sounded too sincere
And her friends said some things that I'm not supposed to repeat here

Say I'm happy being clad in polyester shirts and plaid
Say I never knew how married life would twist me.
Yeah, maybe I've changed a tad, and I look a little like my dad
All these things are true, but add . . . Deana kissed me

Deana kissed me while I slept, turned away and quietly wept
50 years gone in the twinkling of an eye
And as I strolled through the pearly gates, I asked Saint Peter if he could wait
For me to go back and get me one more kiss goodbye

All them angels said I'd lost my mind, but Pete just whispered "sure!"
He said he had one just like her back in 0054

I ain't crazy, I ain't mad, I know exactly what I had
All those things I never did, Ha! they never missed me
And I know some fellas might be glad
To think my story's ending sad
'Cause I had something they never had
Deana kissed me
