Bears

Bears

Sung by Lyle Lovett on Step Inside this House

Some folks say there ain't no bears in Arkansas
Some folks never seen a bear at all
Some folks say that bears go round eating babies raw
Some folks got a bear across the hall

Some folks say that bears go round smelling bad
Others say that a bear is honey sweet
Some folks say this bear's the best I ever had
Some folks got a bear beneath their feet

Some folks drive the bears out of the wilderness
Some to see a bear would pay a fee
Me I just bear up to my bewildered best
And some folks even see a bear in me

So meet a bear and take him out to lunch with you
Even though your friends may stop and stare
Just remember that's a bear in the bunch with you
And they just don't come no better than a bear
