lyrics

Though her clothes are not the latest style and her hair seems a little wild.
But on her face she shows her grace all dressed up with a smile.
Ohhhh she never cared for caviar, and her education didn’t take her far.
But she’s got a smile a country, country mile and it shines just like the morning star.
She never changed her ways.
She’s still the same today with a weary heart and her dreams blown apart all the while she aims to please.
The brown in her hair has turned to gray.
She only words of wisdom to say.
But on her face there could be no mistakes cause she wear smile
for the whole human race.

The Acoustic Album
by Lewis Taylor

supported by 4 fans who also own “Mama”

This album overall is so melodic and laid back, and at times so sparse and haunting. I had no idea that the depth of some of these songs could be stripped of their original production and still be so impactful. I didn't even notice that my favorite song "Sheneverdid" was on the album when I started listening to it, this version made the hair on my arms stand up. Another certified winner. jurassic5

Some of the most beautifully put together Modern Soul to be found on BandCamp. Amber's sexy breathy vocals combined with early Erykah Badu-esque music is to die for. I am a lifelong fan. DJ V From CHICAGO
