I have stumbled on the plains, staggered in the wind   Stood at a crossroad or two   Cried to a river, swept to the sea   All just to get to you      I have jumped the yellow cab, hopped a rusty freight   Sang till my lips turned blue   Flown a silver bird, from tops of the clouds   All just to get to you      I ran too hard, I played too rough   I gave my love, not near enough   I bled too red, I cried too blue   I beat my fist against the moon   All just to get to you      I have run from St. Paul to Wichita Falls   Called you from Sunny Baton Rouge   I hocked everything from my watch to my ring   All just to get to you      I ran too hard, I played too rough   I gave you love, not near enough   I bled too red, I cried too blue   I beat my fist against the moon   All just to get to you      From the California shore, where the mighty ocean roars   To the lands of the Hopi and the Sioux   I walked the desert sands, I crossed the Rio Grande   All just to get to you      I have stumbled on the plains, staggered in the wind   Stood at a crossroad or two   Cried to a river, swept to the sea   All just to get to you      I ran too hard, I played too rough   I gave my love, not near enough   I've bled too red, I cried too blue   I beat my fist against the moon   All just to get to you   All just to get to you   All just to get to you
