Oh, to be as the birds are
Unburdened by loneliness
Oh, to be a shining star
So far away with no regret
Oh, to live in some photograph
Smiling and in love
Far from where you said all that
Shit about freedom
Annie, put your weapon down
I saw you last night
You were runnin round
With them coyotes hollering in the city streets
They don't lay a hand on me
Fancied myself the exception
To almost any rule
Youth is wasted on the young
I was exceptionally cruel
Like any person, I am insecure
You never judged me for that mountain
You gave me love, I wasn't woman enough
I just drank up the fountain
Annie, put your weapon down
I saw you last night
You were running round
With them coyotes hollerin in the city streets
They don't lay a hand on me
They don't lay a hand on me
They don't lay a hand on me
