Why Did You Pluck Me?

from Listener's Choice - Best of 2020 by Bill White

/

lyrics

wasnt the reddest apple on the tree.
I was too old to be anything but me.
You knew all along I was a catastrophy.
So why did you pluck me?

I was hanging tough from a tender branch.
I couldnt take the slaughter at your family ranch.
Why couldnt you just have let me be?
Why did you pluck me?

You say you know what I like
And you like doing it
But you are going to lose
If you keep on pursuing it

There was no reason for me to be gagged and bound
Soon enough I would have fallen to the ground.
You could have waited until I fell out of my tree.
Why did you pluck me?

I wasnt the reddest apple on the tree.
I was too old to be anything but me.
You knew all along I was a catastrophy.
So why did you pluck me?
