Thurman Love - I'm Picking Up (What You're Putting Down)

Her eyes burn hotter than the sun
When she laughed I heard Jesus cum
I asked her what she thought about a two-state solution
She said you'll find out later maybe a violent revolution
And I see loneliness in all the prettiest faces
She said you might be broken in all the right places
I've come to understand that I'll never understand
I had to let go, tired of being dragged around, man
And she said I'm picking up what you put down
You wanna see my blue jeans hanging around
Is it something new that we found
I'm picking up what you're putting down
I'll teach you all I know and what I have forgot
It ain't much, baby, but it's all that I got
Standing on the corner of faith and doubt
I'm hoping that together we might figure it out
And we spoke of God and where we came from, man
She said I'll keep my boots on no matter where I land
Her engine turned over, it was loud in the manifold
Left me there breathing in all I thought I knowed
And she said I'm picking up what you're putting down
I could see me and you laying around
I might let you pull my blue jeans down
I'm picking up what you're putting down
Dancing on barbed wire, singing to the choir
I gave everything I had away, I couldn't find a buyer
Let's spend each other's time, let's spend each other's money
Maybe together we can make it milk and honey
And I'll pick up what you put down
I'll take you dancing all around this town
I'll kick my blue jeans off, throw them on the ground
I'm picking up what you're putting down
