Build Me A Statue In The Park

by C. Carson Parks

Chorus: Build Me A Statue In The Park Dedicate it to the biggest fool in town And light it up each evening when it’s dark ‘Cause that’s the time of day you turned me down. Vs. #1 Oh, give me half a heart of stone So it won’t hurt me anymore That’s all the heart I’m used to when I’m standing all alone The other half went with you out the door. Repeat (Chorus) Vs. #2 Don’t set me up on any horse. No thoroughbred like General Lee The front end don’t fit my personality And the other end’s there already in the form of me. Repeat (Chorus) Vs. #3 Give me a hat that’s large of brim So all the birds can sit thereon And they will treat me just the way you used to do And life will be the same after I’m gone.
