lyrics

Me And Bonnie Raitt
(Alice Olsen)

She was standing in the produce picking out limes
When a tall drink of 30 something asked for the time
He said,”If your single, I’d ask you for a date”
She laughed and said “You’re ‘bout 20 years too late”
Now at 50 plus this hadn’t happened for awhile
It warmed her heart, it made her smile
She thought to herself “I guess I still look great”
Yeh, Me And Bonnie Raitt

Now Bonnie was her hero ‘cause she never grows old
She just keeps playing that rock and roll
That white streak in her hair don’t mean it’s time to slow down
She just digs down deeper for that blue funk sound
So our lady of the produce had a dance in her feet
People started looking as she walked down the street
She thought,”Bonnie’s the one I want to emulate”
It’ll be Me And Bonnie Raitt

When she got home to her husband he was mighty surprised
To see how she looked with that gleam in her eyes
He said, “ I’ve never seen you move like that before
What the hell happened to you at the store?”
“In the produce aisle I had a sudden leap
Of understanding that sweep me off my feet
You know age don’t mean a thing when your looking great
Look at Me And Bonnie Raitt
Yeh, look at Me And Bonnie Raitt”
