lyrics

They say that we built this country
They say that we built this town
But now that we've built our homes here
They say that they’ll tear them down
Darling I’ll take my beating
And then I’ll take my rest
You know that I’ll take most anything
Because I take it best

Hey sister, where’d you come from?
Hey sister, where’d you go?
Hey sister, where’d you come from?
And where are you going when you go?

With a name like coyote
With enemies like these
With a peace like a faucet
I keep shaking in my knees
While I don’t want to lose you
I just don’t care if I win
That’s why I sit around and wait
That’s why I sit around and grin

When we were all out of whiskey
When we were all out of time
She put her toes in the desert
I put my toes on the line
She would not see responses
To all the letters she wrote
Because I was building a fire
And I was building a home
