She had a natural flex in ninety-nine
A pair of arms that looked mighty fine
No protein shakes and no heavy gym
Just a gifted curve on a lucky limb
A little mountain on a youthful arm
She carried it around like a lucky charm
Now the years have added a little weight
To the girl who thought she could outrun fate
That bicep line is a ghost in the mist
With a puffy sleeve and a jewelry wrist
She’s round and soft like a summer peach
With a life of love just out of reach
Oh where did that little bicep go
It melted down like the winter snow
Now it’s thick and it’s wide and round
Where the muscle once was found
To the lonely life of a holiday
With a heavy arm and a heart of cheese
Maybe she’s happy or maybe she’s not
Maybe she’s cooling what was once so hot
Maybe she’s sailing out on a steady tide
Maybe with a lot of comfort on the inside
Who knows if she’s winning the silver prize
Or looking at the world through a thick disguise
Oh where did that little bicep go
It melted down like the winter snow
Now it’s thick and it’s wide and round
Who knows the reason
Just like there’s a lot of secrets in the valley air
Like a tumbleweed that’s rolling and it doesn’t care
With nothing left to win and nothing left to lose
Just a dusty older story that well who knows
who knows Is it a fortune or a heavy load
Just another turn on a winding road
Who knows the story or the price she paid
Sitting all alone in the velvet shade
Yeah keep on rolling through the afternoon
Underneath the light of a different moon
Happy trails and a smooth fair ride
With the mystery drifting on the tide
