lyrics

I’ve been too busy to love you
I’ve been too busy to call
I’ve been too busy not thinking of you
But I can’t find the time to go

I found you standing by the water
Holdin’ a flower to your heart
You looked so beautiful in sorrow
Your eyes did shield a broken heart
You said you had something to tell me
And though you loved me something fierce
You couldn't handle never knowing
Where I was when I wasn't here

I've been to busy to love you
I’ve been too busy to call
I’ve been too busy not thinking of you
But I can’t find the time to go

I told you I had to work a double
And that the boss had called me in
Well, I didn’t lie, but I embellished
Now I’m broke and drunk and stumblin’
Through the alleys, past the train cars
Tryin’ to find my way back home
Without my watch and less a wallet
And God knows where I left my phone

I've been to busy to love you
I’ve been too busy to call
I’ve been too busy not thinking of you
But I can’t find the time to go

I got a dollar in my pocket
I got an ace slid up my sleeve
So deal ‘em down, I’m feelin’ lucky
And on the draw I’m feelin’ mean
I got a pistol in my pocket
I got a glimmer in my eye
And if you’re looking for adventure
Girl, you’ll never find a better guy

But, I've been to busy to love you
I've been too busy to hold you tight
I got a dollar in my pocket
And an ace slid up my sleeve
So deal 'em down I'm feelin' lucky tonight!
Yeah, deal 'em down I'm feelin' lucky tonight!

about

Steel Audrey Vancouver, British Columbia

Steel Audrey is a country-folk artist with a “rustic, old world sound packaged inside the cargo car of a freight train...” (Songoid). His ability to tell a story through song is reminiscent of Kristofferson, Dylan and Springsteen. His blue-collar origins are evident in both narrative and delivery .."extra powerful and raspy... It’s not a pretty picture, but then, life never is.” (Greyowl Point) ... more
