Over the Wingspan

Went to the store the other day, and nearly went in the wrong door which happened to be a United States Armed Forces Recruitment Office. That inspired me to write a new song lyric.
Maybe someone will like it and record it. Enjoy!
Over the Wingspan
Lyrics by Gary Ray Prichard

Went down to the shop to get a new haircut
My head was in a daze, been out the night before
Need a trim, I said when the barber’s face got red
And then I noticed the sign upon the door.

I must be dreamin’
What can it mean, my shirt is green
And they say I’ll enjoy the tour
Only barber here
Shaves your head from ear to ear
Over the wingspan it’s Afghanistan

I thought I knew the way I go there every day
Never did I dream I’d go astray
You’re perfect for the part , sign right here to start
That’s how I found my way

I must be dreamin’
What can it mean, my shirt is green
And they say I’ll enjoy the tour
Only barber here
Shaves your head from ear to ear
Over the wingspan it’s Afghanistan

And still I wonder how I found that barber
I should have read the sign above the door
A man can’t be choosy, feeling kinda boozy
See over the wingspan it’s Afghanistan
