Wrestle Awhile

Pegi Young


Hurt and hammer 
On every nail 
Drag your horses 
And swing that pail 
Don't know 
About the new 
Light rail 
Going in downtown 
(Give me an ale) 

Save your glasses 
For another flight 
Can't you stay with me 
Just one more night 
I promise 
That we won't fight 
Maybe just 
Wrestle awhile 

A friend of mine 
He drives a hearse 
He says all in all 
It could be worse 
Look at the roads 
We must traverse 
But damn 
I'm feeling cursed 

Look for the caddy 
On the open range 
Let him hammer 
Out the strategies 
It's in the swing 
Not the subtleties 
When you score 
Another round 

When I think of all 
The love that's lost 
And all the time 
And at what cost 
It makes me want 
To weep at the loss 
But then we 
Must move on 

Let me back in 
Don't turn me away 
Let's look at it 
Like a brand new day 
The door is open 
But just a crack 
Keep going 
Forward now 
Don't look back 

How can we 
Set it right 
When so much 
Is wrong tonight 
How can we take 
Flight after 
Our yearnings 
Are gone 

(6x):
Stay with me 
One more night 
Maybe we could just 
Wrestle for awhile
