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
