Lyrics

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 flagged a yellow cab
Hopped a rusty freight
Sang till my lips turned blue
Flown a silver bird
On the 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
Call'd you from sunny baton rouge
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
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
