lyrics
my car's empty light
it shines all of the time
a fire fly fell in love
because she thought it was
a lightning bug
I was out of gas
you'll never guess
what happened next
I explained to the poor insect
that she was in love with a bulb and a cord
it was nothing more
than a gas gauge on my dash board
she told me to turn on the radio
she called up her friends
for an all night disco
an in the morning
they sacrificed
their fluorescent abdomens
for combustion in my engine
to get me to town
the point is
she fell in love with an image
it shines all of the time
a fire fly fell in love
because she thought it was
a lightning bug
I was out of gas
you'll never guess
what happened next
I explained to the poor insect
that she was in love with a bulb and a cord
it was nothing more
than a gas gauge on my dash board
she told me to turn on the radio
she called up her friends
for an all night disco
an in the morning
they sacrificed
their fluorescent abdomens
for combustion in my engine
to get me to town
the point is
she fell in love with an image

-
From the Hills & From the Plains
by Clifton HicksThis guy is the real deal when it comes to banjo and singing!!!
go to album -
Heaven Among The Hills
by SawtoothSome of my favorite songwriting I've ever heard. These guys also have another brilliant full band called "Camp Wisdom". Must be something in the water up there in Olympia Washington.
