Desiree is the lead single from our upcoming album release called Selling What You Want To Buy. Desiree stole a man’s heart away from him. There’s not enough wine in that jug to fill the gap left in his soul. We present the tune here in bouncy pop idiom.

lyrics

Well it’s been two days
And a whole jug of wine
Since I’ve lost that pretty little girlfriend of mine
Riding in my pickup
Along the county line
She said she met another man who lives in Willow Pines
Desiree Desiree
Stole my heart away
Desiree Desiree
Stole my heart away
She said the smaller the house
The bigger the dog
And she’s tired of living in this trailer by the bog
I hollered and cussed
Punched a hole through the wall
And all I’ve got left is this stupid northern drawl
Desiree Desiree
Stole my heart away
Desiree Desiree
Stole my heart away
Desiree
I don’t want to date Renee
You know she only wastes my time
Desiree
She just walked out on me
No reason no rhyme
Now I sit here in the kitchen
Or lay around in bed
And the memory of that girl is messin' with my head
In a dream I had a vision
Of a lone horse man
Who spoke without speaking and I seem to understand
Desiree Desiree
Stole my heart away
Desiree Desiree
Stole my heart away
Desiree Desiree
Stole my heart away
Desiree
