Coyote Lyrics

LOOK AT ME COYOTE 

DON'T LET A LITTLE ROAD DUST PUT YOU OFF 

YOU CAN'T JUDGE A BOOK 

WELL YOU KNOW THAT STUFF 

THERE'S A TEAR IN MY UPHOLSTERY 

AND A HOLE IN MY SHOE 

BUT DON'T YOU JUST WISH THAT YOU COULD 

MAKE HALF OF THE SPEED I DO 

SPEED I DO, SPEED I DO, SPEED I DO 

YOU CAN'T CATCH ME COYOTE 

THOUGH THERE MAY BE BLOOD ON THE TRACKS 

THERE MAY BE SOME BRIDGES BURNING 

BEHIND OUR BACKS 

BUT I GOT MY LAUNDRY ON THE BACKSEAT 

AND AN ITINERARY TOO 

AND DON'T YOU JUST WISH THAT YOU COULD 

MAKE HALF OF THE SPEED I DO 

SPEED I DO, SPEED I DO, SPEED I DO 

SPEED I DO, SPEED I DO, SPEED I DO

NOW I'M A SPECK ON YOUR HORIZON 

GETTING SMALLER FAST 

AN AMBUSH WOULDN'T BE SURPRISING 

I HOPE IT'S BETTER THAN YOUR LAST 

ONCE AGAIN THE ROADRUNNER 

LEAVES THE COYOTE IN THE DIRT 

YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER PLAN OF ACTION 

BUT WE ALL KNOW IT AIN'T NEVER GONNA WORK 

IT MUST BE HARD HAVING DOG DREAMS 

THAT NEVER COME TRUE 

AND DON'T YOU JUST WISH THAT YOU COULD 

MAKE HALF OF THE SPEED I DO 

SPEED I DO, SPEED I DO, SPEED I DO 

SPEED I DO, SPEED I DO, SPEED I DO
