And a skunk is eating June bugs beneath a light in Cedar Hill

THE BUDS AND BLOSSOMS
I've been meaning to write you a letter
But I did not know what I would say
I've been thinking about you and your new love
And wishing that there was a way...
And the buds and the blossoms remind me of you today…

One publisher told me, after listening to this song, "I don't like songs about Texas." I responded, "This is not about Texas."
