Biography:
Kyle Craft is a singer-songwriter who grew up in a tiny Louisiana town on the banks of the Mississippi, where he spent most of his time catching alligators and rattlesnakes instead of playing football or picking up the guitar. A self-described transient, Kyle Craft finally settled down in Portland, Oregon in 2015 after a three-year courtship with the Rose City. Touring through town led to frequent visits, couch surfing, and now full-time residency; and by all accounts, he's fully embraced his new home.

[Verse 1]
F C Bb C (Bass run) F
Well boy you've got it wrong, golden calf or not, I bet you're still talking about me ugly.
F C Bb C (Bass run) Bb
I never wanted her to give me all she's got and I never wanted her to love me.
Bb Bbm F G Bb
But just like you I was drawn to her eyes, just like you she went and left me.
Bb Bbm F G Bbm
Ah, just like you I can't forget the night, watching that pretty thing undressing, ah.
A Dm Bb F
And you said she could run around with anyone but me.
A Dm Bb C
I couldn't play by your rules boy and neither could she.
F A Dm C Bb
So I laid her down in a gossamer gown on the same bed that you did.
[Chorus]
F A
And the shadows played on the wall. And she told me her closet talk.
Dm C Bb
It's funny you'd think I care at all what you see in me
F A
You're crazy calling that girl a whore, cried like a baby behind her door,
Dm C Bb
Your temper tantrums settle your scores, shit-talk everything that breathes
F C Bb C (bass run) F
And call me whatever you need.
[Verse 2]
F C Bb C (Bass run) F
Well boy you've got it wrong, golden calf or not, I bet you're too dumb to know the difference.
F C Bb C (Bass run) Bb
You're talking like a saint, said throw it in the fire even though you're the one who built him.
Bb Bbm F G Bb
Gathered the jewelry, melted it down, made for yourself to go idolize.
Bb Bbm F G Bbm
But that wasn't me, I already jumped town, catching up to your runaway bride.
A Dm Bb F
And you said she could mop the floor with any modern man.
A Dm Bb C
I wish I played by your rules boy 'cause now I know she can.
F A Dm C Bb
She took my heart in the parking lot from the moment we first kissed.
[Chorus]
F A
Now I'm stuck in some foreign land between my girl and a waste of time
Dm C Bb
Aside from loving all through the night, I'm not so different than you.
F A
High as a kite on the church pew there, so infantile in your wild despairs.
Dm C Bb
I get it boy, you're the perfect pair. That kind of love it takes two.
Bb
So call me whatever you do.

C Bb F Bb
But when the party's over honey and your key to the kingdom don't fit the new lock
C Bb F Bb
And everybody's shoving camels through the eye of a needle and you're punching the clock
C Bb F Bb
Yeah when your new squeeze talks both your ears off, baby, you've got that open-road feeling
C Bb Bbm F
You send your regards when your heart is ripe for the stealing
