Mark Knopfler - Coyote lyrics

Mark Knopfler

COYOTE

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
