Darling, don't wait too soon We'll always be around Like the smog above downtown Or the dust in my house Jay, don't burn it out I'll pay it all back All the drinks that I had All the rooms that I'll trash You have my word for now & There's a coyote on the beach Spitting salt water at my feet He said, "Don't you tell it" Well, I couldn't help it The north is running in my blood God, I want you but it's too much trouble I got a friend here From Boulder, Colorado In the south I lost my truth Had a friend I had to get to An ocean I'd never seen Until I walked in knee deep & I'm sending a letter to Texas To my father's cold brick house Saying, "When you coming around..." "...California needs you" & There's a coyote on the beach Spitting salt water at my feet He said, "Don't you tell it" Well, I couldn't help it The north is running in my blood God, I want you but it's too much trouble I got a friend here From Boulder, Colorado & There's a coyote on the beach Spitting salt water at my feet He said, "Don't you tell it" Well, I couldn't help it The north is running in my blood God, I want you but it's too much trouble I got a friend here From Boulder, Colorado
