Appaloosa's

We met in Appaloosa's I was two feet under
Playin' in bars for beer no tips no cover
He was my guy but he's never gonna be my man
He's just a stranger I met playin' in a rock and roll band
City lights can blind a sad country girl like me
I was movin' fast but I was thinkin' slowly
Don't blink don't try to wrap your mind around me
Once was enough baby I got stuck under your honey tongue
Movin' town to town trying to get exposure
Makin' our love on a highway shoulder
What's that in your hand
Have you got something sweet for me?
Is it love is it trust is it my dignity?
City lights can blind a sad country girl like me
I was movin' fast but I was thinkin' slowly
Don't think you're gonna wrap those arms around me
Once was enough baby I got stuck under your honey tongue
Well the days got long but the night's felt longer
And the music's loud but my heartache's louder
I need a line that's gonna shoot straight to my heart
Write me a few of your lines, babe
It's all I've been after from the start
City lights can blind a sad country girl like me
I was movin' fast but I was thinkin' slowly
I'm pink you lit a red-hot wire in me
Once was enough baby I got stuck under your honey tongue

You said you wanna break one more woman's heart
Said that mine don't count it was broken at the start
Well it's a long way, it's a long way back to Georgia
And I've followed you this far
I could pull up a rig that would drag me back down South
I could pull up a smile from the corner of my mouth
But you won't see it, you're much too far away
You know I always meant to stay
Listen, I know you're not listening
Listen, I know you're not listening
But, baby, I am calling out to you
Yeah, I'm calling out to you
Yeah, I'm calling out to you, out
These days the days they fall down hard on me
I get all kinds of care, I ain't got sympathy
And I could call you and try to change my fate
But that's a time-tired mistake
Listen, I know you're not listening
Why don't you listen, I know you're not listening
But, baby, I am calling out to you
Yeah, I'm calling out to you
Always calling out to you, out
And you could drawl out
Darlin', it was you who first did this to me
Now when I look out I see pain in every mountain laurel tree
Every goddamn southern tree
Listen, I know you're not listening
Listen, I know you're not listening
But, baby, I am calling out to you
Yeah, I'm calling out to you
Yeah, I'm calling out to you, out

Marianne, I am two thirds in love with your man
There are some things we can't understand
Marianne, I've been praying we don't have to do this again
Marianne, that man plays us like his mandolin
And we're both better off without him
Marianne, you get to fall asleep touching his skin
Marianne, you don't know the shape that I'm in
Marianne, set a spot at your table for me
Cause you're cooking up, baby, for three
Marianne, that man's cooking us both turnip greens
Marianne, set a spot at your table for me
Marianne, it's just too far from Texas here
And you're just lucky that I can only last a year
Marianne, you know I'm only in this for the sin
Marianne, if I can't be an angel it's this.

I used to be Montana wild and free
But I'm not the way I used to be
I used to be a countryside so pure
I said I'm not the way I was before
I used to be as tan as hide
Now I flee from the sun I've been driven inside
I used to carry glaciers in my skin
But I'm not the way I was back then
I used to be Montana wild and free
But I'm not the way I used to be
I used to be a mountain stream
You'd be hard-pressed to catch me
I used to wear the rivers in my hair
But I'm not the girl I was back there
I used to be Montana wild and free
But I'm not the girl I used to be
I'm an uneasy woman
I'm a highway mile, I'm a plastic smile
I'm an uneasy woman
I'm a middle child, won't be home for a while
I'm an uneasy woman
I used to be Montana
I used to be Montana
I used to be Montana wild and free
But I'm not the way I used to be

I once google-searched the definition of "pine" and the example provided was this: "Some people pine for the return of the monarchy". I'd feel the same way, perhaps, had I been born in a different place, but I'm left to pine for other things like basque wine, moonlight and cowboys. ... more
