GREEN LIGHT

by Nevada Kerr


I shut my tired eyes
When the green light shines
And dream of a blank check
That says what's yours is mine

Cough it up, fork it over
I want your precious four-leaf clover
I've been praying all day
For luck to come my way

Heavenly manna is dangling above
I don't have to bow confessing
Pleading for a breadline blessing
I'm out from under love

Opening doors sure as a gun
With immunity from the burning sun
Nothing left to expend, you and I are done
I can have my way with anyone
