You can't make a woman sleep alone

You can't make a woman sleep alone

You can't give her lovin' on the phone

You can't make her stay her ass at home.

But you try, don't you?

You try, don't you?

Just want to die, don't you

When she runs?

You can't tell her nothing she don't know

You can't tell her nothing she don't know

She'll chop down every living thing you grow

But you can't take her with you when you go.

But you try, don't you?

You try, don't you?

Just want to die, don't you,

When she runs?

Take a year and go back home

Where the wind comes sweepin'

Through the plains

You ain't seen her in awhile,

But she loves you just the same.

You can't stop that ringin' in your ear

You can't stop that ringin' in your ear

You can't make the highway disappear

You can't make her love you out of fear.

But you try, don't you?

You try, don't you?

Just want to die, don't you,

When she runs?

Take a year and go back home

Where the wind comes sweepin'

Through the plains

You ain't seen her in awhile

But she loves you just the same.
