I have stumbled on the plains
Staggered in the wind
Stood at a crossroad or two
Cried to a river swept to the sea
All just to get to you
I have jumped the yellow cab
Hopped a rusty freight
Sang till my lips turned blue
Flown a silver bird
From tops of the clouds
All just to get to you
I ran too hard
I played too rough
I gave my love
Not near enough
I bled too red
I cried too blue
I beat my fist against the moon
All just to get to you
I have run from St
Paul to Wichita Falls
Called you from Sunny Baton Rouge
I hocked everything
From my watch to my ring
All just to get to you
I ran too hard
I played too rough
I gave you love not near enough
I bled too red
I cried too blue
I beat my fist against the moon
All just to get to you
From the California shore
Where the mighty ocean roars
To the lands of the Hopi
And the Sioux
I walked the desert sands
I crossed the Rio Grande
All just to get to you
I have stumbled on the plains
Staggered in the wind
Stood at a crossroad or two
Cried to a river
Swept to the sea
All just to get to you
I ran too hard
I played too rough
I gave my love not near enough
I've bled too red
I cried too blue
I beat my fist against the moon
All just to get to you
All just to get to you
All just to get to you
All just to get to you
