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 and hopped a rusty freight

And sang till my lips turned blue

Flown a silver bird on the tops of the clouds

All just to get to you

And 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

Well, I have run from St. Paul to Wichita Falls

And called you from sunny Baton Rouge

I hawked everything from my watch to my ring

All just to get to you

And 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 and 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

And I ran too hard, I played too rough

I gave my love, not near enough

And 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
