lyrics

Say you want a man who was made like rawhide Honey, I was soakin’ ass wet for the first 18 years of my life
but I found a country far from the rain, I stretched out my soul to dry,
turned my face to the far-flung sun,
didn’t learn to coil rope til I was nearly hung, smelled every rose til my nose got stung
I made my share of mistakes & darlin’ you weren’t one

I was as green as April down in the canyon
but the finest of the fadin’ light don’t come til just before night
90 percent of love is reckless abandon
the other half is learnin’ not to run
keepin’ enough air to say “I love you” in our lungs findin’ forgiveness for the wrongs we ain’t yet done & I made my share of mistakes and darlin’ you weren’t one

So call me anything your tongue could ever think to twist towards
Houlihan me in that hip shot honey and drag me to your fire
burn yr brand on my 12th rib, it was yours for the taking & the least I could give
and Love is as wild as it felt when we were young it’s twice as dangerous as mama bears and guns but we need it more than the mornin’ needs the sun

I made my share of mistakes and darlin’ you weren’t one
