The Ragpicker's Dream

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
