Innocence and Ignorance

from Ryan M. Brewer by Ryan M. Brewer

/

about

this track is about a man who thinks he is settling, but realizes he's made a significant upgrade.

lyrics

you were a live one, dear...but you left me alone.
i got me a dead one now. she's always at home.

why'd you start so early?
love that young disturbs me, you know?
it's something i've thought about.

innocence is like money in the dryer...
if you weren't aware you had any of it prior...
and then you lose it, and then it's gone...
tell me, how much are you out?

you were the best one, dear...but you underachieved.
i got me a pretty good one now, and you better believe.

ignorance is like whiskey in the bottle...
as long as you're certain you've got control of that throttle...
because when you lose it...well, then it's gone.
tell me, how much are you out?

she goes out of her way not to hurt me.
she'd never desert me.

innocence is like money in the dryer...
if you weren't aware you had any of it prior...
and then you lose it, and then it's gone...
tell me, how much are you out?
