Lyle Lovett

song-title sonnet

That’s Right, You’re Not from Texas

Writer Pilgrim by So Elite and the letter L brought me to Lyle Lovett for today’s song-title sonnet.

Lyle Lovett

If I were the man you wanted,
the waltzing fool,
cowboy man,
if I had a boat,
if you were to wake up —
here I am.

I’ve been to Memphis,
the road to Ensenada,
North Dakota,
Baltimore,
Church.
They don’t like me.

All my love is gone —
I think you know what I mean.
