lyrics

Snake Charmer
©Jerry Axson

I’ve got a lot on my mind
Left to imagination
Like trying to stop a freight train
After it’s long since left the station
You took advantage of me
When you stole my heart
Then you climbed back down that deep, dark hole
And proceeded to rip it apart

So much more to her than the eye can see
She’s a snake charmer boy - she charmed the hell out of me

I’m not a missionary man
I’m not an angel or a saint
There’s a whole lot of damage hiding here
Under a fresh coat of paint
Yeah, I thought you were it
The last stop on my line
I gave it everything I had to give
You had something else on your mind

So much more to her than the eye can see
She’s a snake charmer boy - she charmed the hell out of me

I ran your miracle mile
Til’ I about dropped dead
You told me that it’s good for the soul
But not so much for my head
You got under my skin
When I let you in the door
I’m old enough to know when to quit
And baby I don’t won’t no more

So much more to her than the eye can see
She’s a snake charmer boy - she charmed the hell out of me

Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
