Lyrics

Saw her first time at a rock show
Swayin’ alone in the aisle
Hair up in braids, swing dress of lace
Smilin’ a Mona Lisa smile

She told me her name was Moonbeam
Expecting my look of surprise
But I took her hand, said “My ain’t that grand?
It matches the stars in your eyes.”

Moonbeam, prettiest girl I’d ever seen
Hoping you weren’t just a dream
I need your light in my life, Moonbeam

Well, I was her make-work project
And, boy she had her hands full with me
I loved eatin’ meat, had beers on repeat
Watchin’ games on my big screen TV

She told me I had to be mindful
That my Chakras were blocked up and bent
I nodded okay, then Googled away
Not a clue in the world what she meant

Moonbeam, prettiest girl I’d ever seen
Hoping you weren’t just a dream
I need your light in my life, Moonbeam

Oh, she dragged me up to an ashram
Said it was a place I could ground
Wrapped up in a toga, meditation and yoga
So much herbal tea I nearly drowned

I twisted myself into a pretzel
Kept silent all day with no phone
She gave me a mantra, taught me ‘bout Tantra
Said there’d be no love til we got home. Oh, no.

Wish I could say this ended happily
Got caught in the shed with a Big Mac
Six pack on ice, fries instead of rice
Football on a TV in the shack

Well, Moonbeam blew out a Chakra
Used some language she never could take back
Don’t believe what they say, ain’t true anyway
Rarely do opposites attract

Moonbeam, prettiest girl I’d ever seen
Hoping you weren’t just a dream
I need your light in my life, Moonbeam

Moonbeam, prettiest girl I’d ever seen
Somehow it was all just a dream
I miss your light in my life, Moonbeam
