The Beauty Way Lyrics


My father made a pretty damn good living
Playing music on the beauty way
He's gonna die with some money in his pocket
Wish I could do the same today, little darling
Wish I could do the same todayThe white kid and a little transistor, tuned into Wolfman Jack
I picked up a guitar, the sirens whisper
And I'll never look back with longing
And I'll never look back
I worked the clubs along the same red crystals
Polished a diamond in the rough
By the time I hit LA I was hotter than a pistol
But you never had enough, little darling
You never really had enoughI felt the lights on the big big stages
Fire burning my soul
I bet those nights when my guitar rages
But it's not something you control little darling
It's not something you controlRed pale diving for a ride home sunset
Probably what you could do with trash

I wish I was lying like a cat in the sun instead of working like a dog for the cash, little darling
I'm only working for the cash
Sometimes I wish I could unplug this cord
And my soul, lot of money I could save
Every time I say hello, I quit the beauty way
I turn my bones from the narrow grave, little darling
Bones turned in their grave

Lucy Kaplansky (born 1960) is a folk musician. Originally from Chicago, at the age of 18 she moved to New York City, where she became involved in the city's Greenwich Village folk music scene. In 1983, she decided to become a psychologist, enrolling in Yeshiva University. She continued playing music while completing her PhD, and began to have some success as part of a duo with Shawn Colvin. However, when they began to attract record company interest, Kaplansky declined, choosing instead to set up a private practice and become a staff psychologist at a New York hospital.
