about

from the full length record Full Buck Moon

lyrics

I say I want a woman to love
That will love me back the same
To hold close through the violent gales,
hail,
and whipping rain

And at nightfall
when I'm restless again
And the medicine is the road
As I paint every dreamed mile and temporary home
I choke and tell myself
You can't have both

In dark denim and leather boots
And through tourmaline eyes
She raged against my surrender
to the moon and turning tides

And the night passed and morning came
My eyes burned through the road
As every mile pulled me in more
Her words cut to my bones
I nearly broke
And told myself
You can't have both

I say I want a woman to love
That will love me back the same
To hold close through the tornadoes
and wild and whipping rain

And at nightfall when I'm anxious again
She'll see I'm in the throes
As I'm carving through each painted mile
I've stacked up in tomes ...
I am awoke
And tell myself
You can't have both
