Lucinda Williams - Side of the Road lyrics
[Lucinda Williams - Side of the Road lyrics]
You wait in the car on the side of the road
Let me go and stand awhile
I want to know you're there
But I wanna be alone
If only for a minute or two
I wanna see what it feels
Like to be without you
I wanna know the touch of my own skin
Against the sun, against the wind
I walked out in a field, the grass was high
It brushed against my legs
I just stood and looked out at the open space
And a farmhouse out aways
And I wondered about the people
Who lived in it
And I wondered if they were happy and content
Were there children and a man and a wife?
Did she love him and take
Her hair down at night?
If I stray away too far from you
Don't go and try to find me
It doesn't mean I don't love you
It doesn't mean I won't come
Back and stay beside you
It only means I need a little time
To follow that unbroken line
To a place where the wild things grow
To a place where I used to always go
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
If only for a minute or two
I wanna see what it feels
Like to be without you
I wanna know the touch of my own skin
Against the sun, against the wind
Let me go and stand awhile
I want to know you're there
But I wanna be alone
If only for a minute or two
I wanna see what it feels
Like to be without you
I wanna know the touch of my own skin
Against the sun, against the wind
I walked out in a field, the grass was high
It brushed against my legs
I just stood and looked out at the open space
And a farmhouse out aways
And I wondered about the people
Who lived in it
And I wondered if they were happy and content
Were there children and a man and a wife?
Did she love him and take
Her hair down at night?
If I stray away too far from you
Don't go and try to find me
It doesn't mean I don't love you
It doesn't mean I won't come
Back and stay beside you
It only means I need a little time
To follow that unbroken line
To a place where the wild things grow
To a place where I used to always go
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
If only for a minute or two
I wanna see what it feels
Like to be without you
I wanna know the touch of my own skin
Against the sun, against the wind
