Flatland Cavalry - No Shade of Green Lyrics

No shade of green could describe
The beauty trapped inside her eyes
Red lipstick from the blood
Of all them boys who failed and tried

Held up for all to see
With legs as long as she is free
Made strong by walkin' out on any man
Who couldn't let her be

I just wish that I could remember your name
My jaded heart will never be the same
I wish that I could remember your name
'Cause I know you're more than just a pretty face

You're a nineteen year old Cabernet
Bittersweet to the taste
Your memory only gets better with age

And you oughta see her singin' songs
From the cooler she's been standin' on
She might as well be the main stage
Singin' all the words to Long Hot Summer Day
And I can't look away

And I wish that I could remember your name
My jaded heart will never be the same
I wish that I could remember your name
'Cause I know you're more than just a pretty face

I just wish that I could remember your name
My jaded heart will never be the same
I wish that I could remember your name
'Cause I know you're more than just a-

And I wish that I could remember your name
My jaded heart will never be the same
I wish that I could remember your name
'Cause I know you're more than just a pretty face

No shade of green could describe
The beauty trapped inside her eyes
Red lipstick from the blood
Of all them boys who failed and tried
