"Country Mile" lyrics

She prays for rain for the horses
There's a safe for his guns
And a flame on the porches when the night comes
Some terrible forces
Had 'em speaking in tongues
On decay, on divorces, on the wars being won

She was born having visions
She's mean when she's drunk
Blames it all on you when she takes the keys to the truck
And you say you just wanna make her smile
Had a moth on the dash for a country mile
It's a lot to ask, but she'll stay a while
A month, maybe two, with you

Well, the chord between lovers gets pulled so tight
Just step to the middle and you won't have to fight
Can you stay soft in a hard world?
A rose with no thorn
Get along, like a good girl
Be a woman in his arms

She was born having visions
She's mean when she's drunk
Blames it all on you when she takes the keys to the truck
And you say you just wanna make her smile
Had a moth on the dash for a country mile
It's a lot to ask, but she'll stay a while
A month, maybe two, with you

Making love, Alice Coltrane, on the floor by the fireplace
Watching the dogs follow you all around the house
Losing my shit over nothing on your birthday
I'd do anything to be back there right now

'Cause I was born having visions
And I'm mean when I'm drunk
And I blamed it all on you when I took the keys to the truck
And you'd say you just wanted to make me smile
Had a moth on the dash for a country mile
It was a lot to ask, and I stayed a while
A month, maybe two, with you
Yeah, I had a month, maybe two, with you
Yeah, I had a month, maybe two, with you
