Favourite Thing I Own Songtext
von Beans on Toast

It was a long time ago when we first met
Down Tin Pan Alley, you were sittin′ in a shop
And somethin' made me wanna give you a try
You were a little bit better than my average sort
But I gathered up the courage and I give it a shot
And I grabbed you without even thinkin′ why
And I held you really closely by my side
You looked and you played and you felt real good
I took you home without a second thought
And Martin, that was just the start
Oh, since then we ain't ever been apart


Well, I've written all my songs on you
I′ve played all of my gigs with you
I carry you everywhere I go
So Martin, don′t you go nowhere
Unless you know that I'm gonna be there
That′s the way it's always been
That′s the way we roll
Oh Martin, you're the favourite thing I own

Well, you called me a poet and I called you a girl
But that didn′t work out with your name so well
We travelled and we sang to each other
And every single song we sang together
When I sent you back into the USA
I saw photos of the scars the very next day
Came rushing there to be right by your side
Oh Martin, it's been one hell of a ride

Well, I've written all my songs on you
I′ve played all of my gigs with you
I carry you everywhere I go
So Martin, don′t you go nowhere
Unless you know that I'm gonna be there
That′s the way it's always been
That′s the way we roll
Oh Martin, you're the favourite thing I own

Oh Martin, you′re the favourite thing I own
How's that?
