lyrics

I felt the sun unbridled, let the wind caress my face.
I didn't wanna start this fire, burn down this whole damn place
But i did, Lord it felt fine.
No, I ain't the one for you honey but I'll do all right.

I hitched a ride to Reno with a man with one glass eye
I plucked it from its socket, started running for my life
I did, Lord it was fine.
No I ain't glorybound but I'll get by all right.

Plucked a feather from a buzzard, cut the horns right off the bull
I've burnt through this buffet but I've never felt quite full
and I did, Lord. It was fine.
If you believe in nothing, darlin' I'll be yours tonight.

Got a loaded deck of cards and I'm knockin at your door
and if you like this kind of thing I'll throw in fifteen more
and I did. Lord, it was fine.
Well if you like the looks of me, honey, darlin' I'll leave you be tonight.
