My Rival

The wind was driving in my face The smell of prickly pear (my rival show me my rival) The milk truck eased into my space Somebody scream somewhere I struck a match Against the door of Anthony's bar and grill I was the whining stranger A fool in love With time to kill I've got detectives on his case They filmed the whole charade (my rival show me my rival) He's got a scar across his face He wears a hearing aid Sure he's a jolly roger Until he answers for his crime Yes I'll match him whim for whim now I still recall when I first held Your tiny hand in mine (my rival show me my rival) I loved you more than I can tell But now it's stomping time Sure he's a jolly roger Until he answers for his crime Yes I'll match him whim for whim now
