I'm passing sleeping cities Fading by degrees Not believing all I see to be so
I'm flyin' over backyards Country homes and ranches Watching life between the branches below
And it's hard to say Who you are these days But you run on anyway Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place To find that saving grace
I'm moving on alone Over ground that no one owns Past statues that atone for my sins There's a guard on every door And a drink on every floor Overflowing with a thousand amens
And it's hard to say Who you are these days But you run on anyway Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place To find that saving grace Don't you baby?
You're rolling up the carpet Of your father's two-room mansion No headroom for expansion no more And there's a corner of the floor They're telling you is yours You're confident but not really sure
And it's hard to say Who you are these days But you run on anyway Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place To find that saving grace
You say what you want to Jack I'm gonna get my baby back Trouble came ran away Now you say she's gone to stay Got fed up, hit the street Left without a word to me
Oh you don't know How the girl could touch my soul
You say what you want to Jack I'm gonna get my baby back
Suddenly you know my name Say there's only me to blame It's gonna rain, it's gonna shine Gotta stay between the lines Rolling down a lonely road You say I should let it go Wish you would come on down If you need I'll come around
You say what you want to Jack I'm gonna get my baby back
Used to have a son named Joe Where he got to I don't know Maybe down in Mexico Livin' off her daddy's dough If you give me half a chance I will make her sing and dance I'm gonna give her all my soul I'm gonna play her rock and roll
You say what you want to Jack I'm gonna get my baby back
Yeah they raised that horse to be a jumper He was owned by a Midwest bible thumper His preacher was a Louisiana drummer Took all winter to get through the summer
The field hand hit the switch and stumbled Outside the big engine roared and rumbled The stolen horse spooked and tumbled She didn't speak for a week, just kinda mumbled
Ankle deep In love Ankle deep In love
He was caught up In a lie he half believed Found her hiding High in the family tree
Washed his hands And put her 'cross his knee She said "Daddy, you've been a mother to me"
