Renaissance Man from Fossils by EmpathP

My teachers said I’d never amount to much
A daydreamer without a plan
I’m just a silly girl a bit out of touch
Who fell for a Renaissance Man

My momma said “you’ve got to follow your heart”
My daddy tried to understand
Stepping outside the safety of my backyard
I left with my Renaissance Man

To the promised land ‘s our destination
Miles before we reach the end
Be it heaven or hell for deals we’re makin’
Take me where that road extends


We’ll plant a garden of Eden
Build our home in scenic Shangri-la
Just past old Xanadu
We won’t believe it’s true
That those paradises don’t exist at all
A kingdom right out our window
We can fill the night with shooting stars
And if that’s fantasy
Well then, it’s fine with me
Because all that I really wish to be is where you are


In southern comfort we searched for our stead
Joining with any caravan
The travelers said “If she has sense in her head
She’ll marry that Renaissance Man”

If the promised land ‘s our destination
Who knows where the path may bend?
Be it heaven or hell for rules we’re breakin’
Take me where that road extends


Time shifts in grains of sand
From the days where we began
I’m here with my Renaissance Man

Where does our future stand
As we face it hand in hand
I’ll go with my Renaissance Man


I don’t need a garden of Eden
Or a home in scenic Shangri-la
Drive past old Xanadu
I don’t believe it’s true
That those paradises look too great all
There’s no kingdom right out our window
Just a summer night that’s filled with stars
Not quite a fantasy
But that’s all right with me
Because all that I really wish to be is where you are


My teachers said I’d never amount to much
A daydreamer without a plan
I’m just a silly girl a bit out of touch
In love with a Renaissance Man
