My girl says I should read more When I have the time I'll take it to devote my attention to just that With slanted rhyme A couple words and anecdotes Prying the laughter from the grasp of my soul Well maybe a good friend is like a great story You can pick up right where you left off But tell me where there is that kind of book The book you can't put down Am I the entertainment on the coffee table The dusty novel by the bathroom sink Or am I the witty update on your screen Well maybe a good friend is like a great story You can pick up right where you left off But tell me where there is that kind of book The book you can't put down The book you can't put down My girl says I should read more But I like playing my guitar
