Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
A touring musician's brief homecoming mixes flirtation with recollections of poverty, military service and hard travel. The narrator moves between material success and memories that refuse to stay separate from the present. Another tour is already approaching, making his invitation to intimacy both boastful and pressed for time.

Words by Douglas Heyes Jr
I'LL SHOW YOU MINE IF YOU SHOW ME YOURS The Band is comin’ Home from a long ass Tour I've been working so long I’m financially secure There ain't nothin’ wrong with you a-searchin’ for the Cure Nothin’ can go wrong if you keep your body pure I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours We can do it back inside through these double glass doors I'm a rolling Rock landslide and my bed is on the floor Baby, I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours I hope you can forgive me that my thoughts are so impure Now, I am a rich man, but I grew up really poor Somebody was always knockin’ at my back door INS or IRS, I didn't know for sure I didn't even know what they wanted me for I done my Military time, they sent me off to war An old Girlfriend of mine was a Shooter for the Corps She said, I'll Show You Mine If Show Me Yours That just suits me fine, Baby, I said with a smile Taken off your Camos gonna drive me fuckin’ Wild We're runnin’ out of Ammo, so let's shut it down a while Head back in the bunker, you'll be cryin’ like a child Can you hear the Thunder, Baby, can you feel the Rain The way you move your Body makes this ol’ boy go insane Riding on the Line between the Pleasure and the Pain Nobody remembers that we're goin’ down the drain Maybe there's a few things that I just cannot explain Piloting a Goldwing through the California Plain I got my Saddlebags loaded cuz I'm going to Bring the Pain Watch me turn a Sunny Day back into pouring Rain Baby here's a Blindfold, won't you cover up your Eyes? Cuz what I gotta give you gotta be a Surprise I can tell you like it from the Look that's in your Eyes We're finally gonna make it after a whole lot of tries Come on, Little Darlin’, cuz we got to get to it Ain't no time for Alibis, we're gonna have to screw it I know what you're thinkin’, that it's time to do it to it Practice long enough you'll find that there ain't nothin’ to it Nobody believes me so I'm gonna have to prove it When it comes to all this shit we gotta sell it off or move it We're headin’ out tomorrow for another long Tour So Baby, I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours *********
