The Model

©1980 Andrew Calhoun, recorded on Phoenix Envy

It's easy, it's easy for a girl to go blind
When she's got the sun in her face all the time
She's got the body, the water into wine
She'll lead you to heaven or a life of crime

She's a model, she does it better
She's a model and she's well put together
With the wind in her hair and the stuff in her sweater
She gets shot in all kinds of weather

She's got two legs and a double name
She's found a niche in someone else's game
Good girl, bad girl, it pays the same
And she looks good in a picture frame

She's got a man, he's all fuzz
He's a good man and he loves her because
Of who she is and what she does
And who he is, and what he was

He's a good man, he's a true man,
He's a sportscar and sauna and a suntan
He's a number one and an "I can do" man
He's a go-getter and an airplane glue man

They live together, they've got no debts
They've got no worries and no regrets
They've got no kids, no bugs nor pets
They've got their problems but hey, no sweat

Sometimes she will have a bottle
And say "you'll leave me for a younger model"
He says "If I do, babe, I know god'll
Strike me dead in my tracks for a while"
