greta dirtyfoot

I just wrote this song yesterday. For several months I've had the refrain line running around in my head, unchanged. When our daughter was first walking, she walked around barefoot and her feet got simply filthy on occasion — the birthright of every kid.

I started calling her Greta Dirtyfoot, and the little refrain line came soon after. The other day, I sat down and wrote the whole thing.

Like all such songs, it's mainly, I guess, about my own hopes for my girl in this life. Some think that the world is the playground writ large; I say the playground is simply the whole world writ small.
