Radio Paradise (mobile)

Some folks say there ain't no bears in Arkansas
Some folks never seen a bear at all
Some folks say that bears go around eating babies raw
Some folks got a bear across the hall
Some folks say that bears go around smelling bad
Others say that a bear is honey sweet
Some folks say this bear's the best I ever had
Some folks got a bear beneath their feet
Some folks drive the bears out of the wilderness
Some to see a bear would pay a fee
Me I just bear up to bewildered best
And some folks even see the bear in me
So meet a bear and take him out to lunch with you
And even though your friends may stop and stare
Just remember that's a bear there in the bunch with you
And they just don't come no better than a bear

Cynaera Sep 10, 2010 - 20:46	Haven't read other comments (and not sure I want to, considering the topic) - but I love Lyle Lovett. I don't understand this song at all, unless it really just refers to bears (the big, furry, four-footed kind.) Maybe that's WHY I like it - it is what it is, and the harder we try to analyze it, the sillier we seem. Maybe a bear is just a bear. [ Reply ]
