Coyote Call

There are days when I Give up to get back But I'm beginning to feel again Yeah I never recovered I wanna be stronger Not just for others I need to walk taller Right now, I need a brother Let go, find land Deliver me somewhere Raise up both hands Is somebody out there? Deliver me somewhere Is somebody out there? I'm finding it hard to stay awake But I'm beginning to heal again, yeah Lately I've been listening to Songs I knew when I was young Finding faith in smoky places Reaching to beyond Right now, I need a brother Let go, find land Deliver me somewhere Raise up both hands Is somebody out there? Deliver me somewhere Is somebody out there? Let go, find land Deliver me somewhere Raise up both hands Let go, find land Deliver me somewhere Raise up both hands Is somebody out there? Deliver me somewhere Is somebody out there? Deliver me somewhere Is somebody out there?

The sun goes down, then they come around A couple of shots and they look a little better now Whisperin' something in your ear Back pocket moves now it's crystal clear They wanna build you up just to bring you down Yippee ki-yay, yippee ki-yay listen to that sound Everybody knows when they try to stay you gotta shoot 'em down Beautiful and wonderful as they might seem Every time every night I think I might take one home I take another look in my scope but it's just another damn coyote Prayin' on the weak while we're off working for the man Prada on their feet can't spend it like they can Now I ain't saying there's a problem taking one out Or calling in a few and knocking 'em down Don't be fooled when they try to stick around 'Cause you know why they stick around Yippee ki-yay, yippee ki-yay listen to that sound Everybody knows when they try to stay you gotta shoot 'em down Beautiful and wonderful as they might seem Every time every night I think I might take one home I take another look in my scope but it's just another damn coyote Yeah, it's just another damn coyote, oh-oh When the smoke clears, they disappear You lift your eyes and you try to hear Your buddies are waitin' And you're hoping you got something to show But the spotter said you pulled left And just another loss to the coyotes Oh, yippee ki-yay, yippee ki-yay listen to that sound Everybody knows when they try to stay you gotta shoot 'em down Yeah, well beautiful and wonderful as they might seem Every time every night I think I might take one home I take another look in my scope I might take one home, but I take one more look in my scope But it's just another damn coyote Just another damn coyote Yippee ki-yay, yippee ki-yay Yippee ki-yay, yippee ki-yay

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 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 And we rolled right past that tragedy Till we turned into some road house lights Where a local band was playing Locals were up kicking and shaking on the floor And 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 of the freeway I looked a coyote right in the face On the road to baljennie near my old home town He went running thru 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 And peeking thru keyholes in numbered doors Where the players lick their wounds And take their temporary lovers And their pills and powders to get them thru this passion play No regrets, coyote I just get off up aways 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 He picks up my scent on his fingers While he's watching the waitresses' legs He's too fat 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 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
