Rain fell red, red like the dust from my Uncle's
Campfire Woodie Guthrie songs
("Can't make me")
You let it cake on your car for some some some time after

You were always asking strange questions
And hoping I could hoo hoo
And when I could not, I ran me I ran so fast
And I could not hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo

Won't you love me like you did before?
Won't you love me like you did before?

There were times when you were almost there
There were nights when you were almost there

Crying crying Mother Mary save me
Crying my back-catalogue entirely
("Can't make me")
And when I could not, you gave me that damn rash and
I had to return my goggles to the past

You were always asking such strange questions and
Hoping I could hoo hoo
When I could not I ran me I ran so fast
And I tried baby but hoo hoo haa haa hoo hoo

Won't you love me like you did before?
Won't you love me like you did before?

There were nights when you were almost there,
There were times when you were almost there
You were almost there You were almost there

Nobody would have liked it better than me if I
Could have been more helpful in that way

Nobody would have liked it better than me if I
Could have been more helpful

I could have been more helpful
If I could have been more helpful

You were always asking such strange questions and
Hoping I could help you answer them
