Now a country boy named Shorty
and a city boy named Dan
had to prove who could run the fastest
to wed Miss Lucy's hand
Now Dan had all the money
and he also had the looks
But Shorty musta had that something boys
that can't be found in books
Chorus:
"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
That's what Miss Lucy said
"Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
You know it's you that I wanna wed"
Wait a minute
Now Dan had been in training
about a week before the race
He made up his mind old Shorty
would end in second place
You know Dan with his long legs flying
he left Shorty far behind
Shorty heard him holler out
Miss Lucy that you'll soon be mine
(Chorus)
But Shorty wasn't worried
There was a smile upon his face
'Cause old Lucy had fixed the race
And just like that old story
about the turtle and the hare, you know that thing
when Danny crossed over the finish line
he found Shorty waiting there
(Chorus)
It's you that I wanna wed, no no
And oh Lord it's you I wanna wed
It's you that I wanna wed
Cut Across Shorty (02:31)
Song from Eddie Cochran, played by Tony Shotton

Do you have any form of privacy at this address? If you don't then you should get some and fast. No one can do it on their own and have to vent to a confidante -- that's French for someone they trust. If you don't have one then you need one. Today - not tomorrow! Love always, Jimmy

I love him. Do you reckon he'd come to my 40th and sing for me? If I told everyone he was a Rod impersonator it might work??

It's one of my favourite songs from the great Rod Stewart. The words are simple but really touching. Thanks for posting :)

If I listened long enough to you, I'd find a way to believe that is all true, knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried. Still I'd look to find a reason to believe. Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else. Someone like you makes it easy to give up never thinking about myself.
If I gave you time to change my mind, I'd try to leave all the past behind, knowing that you lied, straight-faced while I cried, still I'd look to find a reason to believe. Someone like......
