The poster girl |
Lyrics"The Poster Girl"By Yves Stilmant © 2025 [Verse 1A] She was starin' from a truck stop wall Bell-bottom jeans and southern drawl Hat tipped low, eyes burnin' through I knew right then -- I was bound to lose [Verse 1B] Bought that poster for a couple of bucks Hung it up in my beat-up truck Every mile, she rode with me In every face, her mystery [Pre-Chorus] Friends said, "Boy, it's just a print" But love don't fade like cheap ink does [Chorus] She's the poster girl, the dream I chased Across backroads, towns, and empty states Like a ghost with boots and a secret smile I searched the world for a single style Of soul and fire, heart and grace Then she walked in, in time and place The poster girl -- alive, in front of me [Verse 2A] Saw her singin' in a roadside bar Same eyes, same smile, same old scar I froze like fate had pulled the thread She leaned in close and softly said... [Verse 2B] "You look like a man I drew one night Hung him up in a frame, felt so right Never thought I'd meet him here But dreams got ways of reappearing" [Pre-Chorus] She had the same poster too Guess stars fall where they're meant to [Chorus 2] She's the poster girl, now flesh and bone And somehow I don't feel so alone From whispered walls to neon signs We both were drawn through space and time Two restless hearts that had to roam Just to find what felt like home The poster girl -- was always meant for me [Bridge] Now she rides beside me in that truck That old poster's folded, torn, and tucked We laugh 'bout how we used to dream And now we live what used to seem [Final Chorus - Extended] She's the poster girl, but now she's mine The kind you'd chase a hundred signs With eyes like fire, voice like fate She turned my search into a gate And every road I traveled through Was drawing me straight back to you The poster girl -- more real than I believed |
