she moves like a stevie ray vaughn song when she walks by Paul Koniecki

she moves like a stevie ray
vaughn song when she walks

the virtuoso of oak cliff plays
"there's a floodin' down in texas"

as her thigh-high leather boots
smash the morning dew

strutting to brunch
in a promenade of anti-shame

calling out
rewind that last part baby

it’s gonna be a 5150
house party kinda day

we drank a lot of jameson
and all the stubborn mules

i liked how the ice was
already crushed

mint and ginger muddled
with some lime

frosted copper mug
shot touching skin

straight heat waves
bent phone poles

fur lined kneecaps
our moment before the rain

each time she took up
my colors and my helmet

the moon swallowed the earth
and the flood grew

she moves like a stevie
ray vaughn song when she walks
