Rain fell red, red like the dust
From my uncle's campfire, Woodie Guthrie songs
(Can't make me)
You let it cake on your car for some, some, some time after
You were always asking strange questions
And hoping I could hoo, hoo
And when I could not, I ran me, I ran so fast
And I could not hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Won't you love me like you did before?
Won't you love me like you did before?
There were times when you were almost there
There were nights when you were almost there
Crying, crying, Mother Mary save me
Crying my back-catalog entirely
(Can't make me)
And when I could not, you gave me that damn rash
And I had to return my goggles to the past
You were always asking such strange questions
And hoping I could hoo, hoo
When I could not, I ran me, I ran so fast
And I tried baby but hoo, hoo, haa, haa, hoo, hoo
Won't you love me like you did before?
Won't you love me like you did before?
There were nights when you were almost there
There were times when you were almost there
You were almost there, you were almost there
Nobody would have liked it better than me
If I could have been more helpful in that way
Nobody would have liked it better than me
If I could have been more helpful
I could have been more helpful
If I could have been more helpful
You were always asking such strange questions
And hoping I could help you answer them
