Two soft eyes

she played a woman with a tambourine
to all the men yet seldom seen
two eager eyes and musical mouth
she started north and headed south
took her time and drove alone
in a rented dress she called her own
sitting closely by her side
the night time lover she hoped to ride
she thumbed his book and read a page
learned that love was all the rage
memories played her face at four
caught her looking out the door
she played a woman with an appetite
for all the men to grab a bite
her give-and-take and full-page smile
started fast and stayed awhile
she played a woman with a tambourine
to all the men yet seldom seen
two eager eyes and musical mouth
she started north and headed south
took her time and drove alone
in a rented dress she called her own
