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 have jumped 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

Now, 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

and 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

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

I ran too hard

and I played too Rough

I gave my love

Not near enough

I bled too red

and 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
