Up To Here

well its 7:00 AM and she woke by the radio
yeah she rolled on over said, "where did my man go?"
she's been a gunslinger's wife all her life
now she fights when she's able
for the sake of the kids when the knife's at their necks in the cradle
she screams

I'll believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight
I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight

well she's got all the kids and she's got all their uses
but she loves them the same for neglect and abuses
she got a warm spot where they fought
and they made up last evening
he said, "Don't read too much into the fact
that I'm leaving"
she screams

I'll believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight
I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight
I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight
I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight

how do I explain this
I mean how do I put it into words
it's one thing or another
but it's neither this or that
actually it's a collection of things
she said, " that's it, that's it, get out"

well her mother said, "Kill him slow at your leisure"
ah but desperate times call for desperate measures
so she went to the closet and she pulled the old gun down
"I'll put a bullet through his heart if he ain't home by sundown"
Yeah 5:55 he comes walking in the front door smiling
he said, "Don't read too much into what I ain't denying"
she screams

I'll believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight
I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight
I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight
I will believe in you or I'll be leaving you tonight
Well I believe in you

Well I think that there's a problem here
her voice just don't sound right
left a message on the answering machine
said, "I'm back in town tonight"
I feel I've stepped out of the wilderness
all squint-eyed and confused
but even babies raised by wolves
they know exactly when they've been used

see when it starts to fall apart
it really falls apart
like boots or hearts, oh when they start
they really fall apart

fingers and toes, fingers and toes
forty things we share
forty-one if you include
the fact that we don't care
now you've blocked off most of main street
for your faith parade
everyone in town now, they probably all agree
I'm lying in the bed I made

now you won't even let me talk to you
we got some air to clear
we'd probably only agree on one thing anyway
that's what the hell is happening here?
finger and toes, fingers and toes
forty things we share
forty-one if you include
the fact that we don't care

like anyone I knew a Dave
drove a Plymouth shallow grave
said, "my girl don't just walk, she unfurls"
with motorcycle language
he stumbled through his slang pledge
then he dragged the mud for wedding pearls

he closed both his eyes and sort of gave her a kiss
said "don't worry baby about what you're gonna miss
there will always be a much much more than this
every time you go, you are all I see
holding out for you and me

pulled down his birthday suitcase
brown with dust from no place
said, "I think its time we made a start"
they danced the waltz of charity
no car garage, two kids for free
they were pissing bliss and playing parts

she closed both her eyes, sorta gave him a kiss...
said "don't worry baby about what you're gonna miss
there will always be a much much more than this
every time you go, you are all I see
holding out for you and me

and the big snake pit
and we dance to the edge of it
and we laugh and we laugh
cause we ain't seen the edge of it

every time you go, you are all I see
holding out for you and me
every time you go, you are all I see
holding out for you and me
every time you go, you are all I see
holding out for you and me
you and me you and me you and me

they shot a movie once, in my hometown
everybody was in it, from miles around
out at the speedway, some kind of Elvis thing
well I ain't no movie star
but I can get behind anything
yeah I can get behind anything

get it out, get it all out
yeah stretch that thing
make it last, make it last
at least until the supper bell rings
well the taxi driver likes his rhythm
never likes the stops
throes of passion, throes of passion
when something just threw him off

sometimes the faster it gets
the less you need to know
but you gotta remember
the smarter it gets
the further its gonna go
when you blow at high dough
when you blow at high dough

baby I feel fine
I'm pretty sure it's genuine
it makes no sense, no it makes no sense
but I'll take it free anytime
whoever fits her usually gets her
it was the strangest thing how she moved so fast, moved so fast
into that wedding ring

out at the speedway, same Elvis thing
well I can't catch her, but I can get behind anything
yea I can get behind anything
well I can get behind anything
