Lyrics
seventeen years she's been in this world
wide-eyed and wistful, pretty little mormon girl
and she don't know i'm wicked, and she don't know i'm old
sweet jesus forgive me but she gets in my soul

'cause she believes in the future and the family tree
and she thinks there's a little spark of good left in me
and she comes to my door 'cause she thinks i can bring her
the glamorous life of a cowboy singer

i rise from my bed to her hand at the bell
i look like the devil and i'm feelin' like hell
but she don't seem to notice and she steps right inside
for to sing me the song that she made up last night

and her voice is shining with the moon and the stars
and she plays so unspoiled on that two-bit guitar
singin' love and tomorrow and thank the redeemer
and i doom and anoint her a cowboy singer

This was made for
mlyn for festivids! Thank you to brynnmck and greensilver for looking it over and assuring me it was good.

I was especially nervous about it because I made this vid in a DAY. That's what happens when you have limited source, I guess. I saw Mlyn noted Bill as one of her favorite characters and knowing he had a short run on the show I figured I could throw something together for her. It came down between this song and another one that was more generally Bill, and I actually initially wanted to make the other one more, but this one wouldn't leave me alone. It came together so quickly, I think it was the right one to choose! One thing I thought was interesting - and I wonder if this is because of the summary text I used - were comments that seemed to be skewing in a 'shippy direction. That certainly wasn't what I intended, though I can see how it could come across that way! All of these looks are directly in the source; I just see them as a hero-worship relationship more than anything.
