The Baylor Line Blues Song (The Thing is Still there)

Ah, the anthem for all Baylorites or something along those lines.

Sic 'em Bears!

THE BAYLOR LINE BLUES SONG (THE THING IS STILL THERE)
Maddie McGuire
2004 Girl Moon Music

(E)(D)
My guitar sits in the corner
(E)(D)
beggin' me to play
(A)(D)
I roll over and ignore it
(A)(D)
I'm too tired I'll say
(E)
but the thing is still there
(D)(A)
just callin' my name

the books are on the floor
I didn't ready today
If I desire to pick them up
then it will be okay
but the thing is still there
just callin' my name

{refrain one}
(E)(D)
Lay me down and let me sleep
(E)(A)
hold my hand my heart to keep

(E)(D)
can I be a good girl
(E)(D)
and still tell you how i feel today
(E)(D)
can I be a good catholic
(E)(D)
and still cast my vote this way
(E)
can I honour my heritage
(D)(A)
without dishonour to my heart
(E)
can I tell you all mys secrets
(D)(A)
without tearing us apart
(E)
and the thing is still there
(D)(A)
just callin' my name

I'm feezin' in the shadows
but I can see the light
I could reach out and touch it
but would it be right
and the thing is still there
just callin' my name

I'm soakin' in the streets
watchin' it rain all night
I could jump in and swim
then I would be alright
but the thing is still there
just callin' my name

{refrain two}
look at me and hold me tight
say my name kiss me good night

That good Ol' Baylor Line
That good Ol' Baylor Line
We'll march forever down the years
as long as the stars shall shine
We'll sling our green and gold afar
to light the ways of time
and guide us as we onward go
that good Ol' Baylor Line

Note: bluesy like the Delta and not Memphis, country, and a bit folk rock. I usually don't add the Baylor Line part unless in Waco.
