No regrets Coyote
2
We just come from such different sets of circumstance
3
I'm up all night in the studios
4
And you're up early on your ranch
5
You'll be brushing out a brood mare's tail
6
While the sun is ascending
7
And I'll just be getting home with my reel to reel
8
There's no comprehending
9
Just how close to the bone and the skin and the eyes
10
And the lips you can get
11
And still feel so alone
12
And still feel related
13
Like stations in some relay
14
You're not a hit and run driver, no, no
15
Racing away
16
You just picked up a hitcher
17
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway
18
We saw a farmhouse burning down
19
In the middle of nowhere
20
In the middle of the night
21
And we rolled right past that tragedy
22
Till we turned into some road house lights
23
Where a local band was playing
24
Locals were up kicking and shaking on the floor
25
And the next thing I know
26
That Coyote's at my door
27
He pins me in a corner and he won't take "No!"
28
He drags me out on the dance floor
29
And we're dancing close and slow
30
Now he's got a woman at home
31
He's got another woman down the hall
32
He seems to want me anyway
33
Why'd you have to get so drunk
34
And lead me on that way
35
You just picked up a hitcher
36
A prisoner of the white lines of the freeway
37
I looked a Coyote right in the face
38
On the road to Baljennie near my old home town
39
He went running through the whisker wheat
40
Chasing some prize down
41
And a hawk was playing with him
42
Coyote was jumping straight up and making passes
43
He had those same eyes - just like yours
44
Under your dark glasses
45
Privately probing the public rooms
46
And peeking through keyholes in numbered doors
47
Where the players lick their wounds
48
And take their temporary lovers
49
And their pills and powders to get them through this passion play
50
No regrets, Coyote
51
I just get off up aways
52
You just picked up a hitcher
53
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway
54
Coyote's in the coffee shop
55
He's staring a hole in his scrambled eggs
56
He picks up my scent on his fingers
57
While he's watching the waitresses' legs
58
He's too fat from the Bay of Fundy
59
From Appaloosas and Eagles and tides
60
And the air conditioned cubicles
61
And the carbon ribbon rides
62
Are spelling it out so clear
63
Either he's going to have to stand and fight
64
Or take off out of here
65
I tried to run away myself
66
To run away and wrestle with my ego
67
And with this flame
68
You put here in this Eskimo
69
In this hitcher
70
In this prisoner
71
Of the fine white lines
72
Of the white lines on the free, free way
