Coyote

In the style of

Joni Mitchell

Lyrics

no regrets coyote
we just come from such

different sets of circumstance
i'm up all night in the studios

and you're up
early on your ranch

you'll be brushing out
a brood mare's tail

while the sun is ascending
and i'll just be

getting home with my
reel to reel

there's no comprehending
just how close to the bone

and the skin and the eyes
and the lips you can get

and still feel so alone
and still feel related

like stations in some relay
you're not a

a hit and run driver no no

racing away

you just picked up a hitcher
a prisoner of the white

lines on the freeway

we saw a
farmhouse burning down

in the middle of nowhere in
the middle of the night

we rolled right
past that tragedy

till we pulled into
some road house lights

where a local band was playing
locals were up kicking and

shaking on the floor
the next thing i know

that coyote's at my door
he pins me in a corner

and he won't take no

he drags me out on
the dance floor and we're

dancing close and slow
now he's got a woman at home

he's got another woman
down the hall

he seems to want me anyway

why'd you have to
get so drunk and

lead me on that way

you just picked up a hitcher
a prisoner of the white

lines on the freeway

i looked a coyote
right in the face

on the road to baljennie
near my old home town

he went runnin' through
the whisker wheat

chasing some prize down

and a hawk was
playing with him

coyote was jumping straight
up and making passes

he had those same
eyes just like yours

under your dark glasses

privately probing the
public rooms

peeking through keyholes
in numbered doors

where the players
lick their wounds

and take their temporary lovers

and their pills and
the powders to

get them through
this passion play

no regrets coyote

i just get off up away

you just picked up a hitcher
a prisoner of the white

lines on the freeway

coyote's in the coffee shop
he's staring a hole

in his scrambled eggs

and he picks up my
scent on his fingers

while he's watching
a waitresses' legs

he's too far from
the bay of fundy

from appaloosas and
eagles and tides

and the air
conditioned cubicles

and the carbon ribbon rides

are spelling it out so clear
either he's going to have

to stand and fight

or take off out of here
i tried to run away myself

to run away and
wrestle with my ego

and with this this flame
you put here in this eskimo

in this hitcher
in this prisoner

of the fine white lines
of the white lines

on the free free way
