[00:12.51] No regrets Coyote
[00:14.73] We just come from such different sets of circumstance
[00:18.67] I'm up all night in the studios
[00:20.47] And you're up early on your ranch
[00:23.77] You'll be brushing out a broodmare's tail
[00:26.72] While the sun is ascending
[00:29.49] And I'll just be getting home with my reel to reel
[00:32.91] There's no comprehending
[00:35.70] Just how close to the bone and the skin and the eyes
[00:38.87] And the lips you can get
[00:41.58] And still feel so alone
[00:44.43] And still feel related
[00:47.28] Like stations in some relay
[00:50.15] You're not a hit and run driver no no
[00:53.23] Racing away
[00:55.71] You just picked up a hitcher
[00:58.67] A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway
[01:04.49]
[01:13.63] We saw a farmhouse burning down
[01:16.19] In the middle of nowhere
[01:17.55] In the middle of the night
[01:19.43] And we rolled right past that tragedy
[01:21.86] Till we turned into some road house lights
[01:24.66] Where a local band was playing
[01:27.32] Locals were up kicking and shaking on the floor
[01:31.82] And the next thing I know
[01:33.33] That coyote's at my door
[01:36.52] He pins me in a corner and he won't take no
[01:39.50] He drags me out on the dance floor
[01:41.25] And we're dancing close and slow
[01:44.98] Now he's got a woman at home
[01:47.04] He's got another woman down the hall
[01:49.37] He seems to want me anyway
[01:50.91] Why'd you have to get so drunk
[01:53.65] And lead me on that way
[01:56.61] You just picked up a hitcher
[01:58.85] A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway
[02:03.61]
[02:14.08] I looked a coyote right in the face
[02:16.22] On the road to Baljennie near my old home town
[02:19.67] He went running thru the whisker wheat
[02:21.97] Chasing some prize down
[02:25.26] And a hawk was playing with him
[02:27.95] Coyote was jumping straight up and making passes
[02:31.14] He had those same eyes just like yours
[02:34.38] Under your dark glasses
[02:37.33] Privately probing the public rooms
[02:39.89] And peeking thru keyholes in numbered doors
[02:43.23] Where the players lick their wounds
[02:45.01] And take their temporary lovers
[02:47.81] And their pills and powders to get them thru this passion play
[02:52.80] No regrets Coyote
[02:54.55] I just get off up aways
[02:56.82] You just picked up a hitcher
[02:59.12] A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway
[03:04.60]
[03:15.23] Coyote's in the coffee shop
[03:16.75] He's staring a hole in his scrambled eggs
[03:19.28] He picks up my scent on his fingers
[03:22.34] While he's watching the waitresses' legs
[03:24.98] He's too far from the Bay of Fundy
[03:27.64] From appaloosas and eagles and tides
[03:32.32] And the air conditioned cubicles
[03:34.49] And the carbon ribbon rides
[03:36.97] Are spelling it out so clear
[03:40.21] Either he's going to have to stand and fight
[03:42.19] Or take off out of here
[03:45.35] I tried to run away myself
[03:48.10] To run away and wrestle with my ego
[03:54.71] And with this flame
[03:57.68] You put here in this Eskimo
[03:59.17] In this hitcher
[04:01.99] In this prisoner
[04:04.21] Of the fine white lines
[04:08.42] Of the white lines on the free free way
