She's a graceful rose in her party dress
She's diamonds and pearls
She's polished perfection
but she'll never bloom wild for you like I am
You picked the wrong girl, you picked the wrong girl

she's had you up all night preparing for guests
and you look a bit tired in that tuxedo vest
But you slept like a baby held to my breast
You picked the wrong girl, you picked the wrong girl

I'll try not to cry when you say we're friends
and I'll try and smile when she shows me the ring
and you'll have everything that money can buy
but you picked the wrong girl, you picked the wrong girl

She's a graceful rose in her party dress
She's diamonds and pearls
She's polished perfection
but she'll never bloom wild for you like I am
You picked the wrong girl, you picked the wrong girl
You picked the wrong girl, you picked the wrong girl

Sun-kissed skin and lean and tall
You dance like you been on a horse too long
You wear a feather in the brim of your Resistall

And as you spin around the room
Rosebuds on the wallpaper bloom
But I got a feeling you’ll be leaving here soon, how long?

How long will you make me wait
How long must I stay
At the back of your line
How long will you make me wait
I long for your kiss
I long for all this and more if only you’d say
How long will you make me wait

I’m by the wall with the flowers and stems
Killing my time before the next dance
All I want is a little romance
How long how long

How long will you make me wait
How long must I stay
At the back of your line
How long will you make me wait
How long will you make me wait

How long will you make me wait

When I don't know what to do with myself
I take an old board game off of the shelf
'cause when everything seems fine I go out of my mind
Tell me Ouija what'd he do last night

Ouija did he go to the bar
Have some whiskey and just forget to call
Did he lose himself in somebody's eyes
Tell me Ouija what'd he do last night

He got some reservations he said not to be late
A witty conversation he nibbled from my plate
His lips were full of promises and how I took the bait
But now I'm left with cigarettes and questions

Like Ouija did I go too far
Am I slutty am I pretty am I smart
Will I ever be a mother and a wife
Tell me Ouija what'd he do last night
Tell me Ouija what'd he do last night.....

Kentucky is a pretty place, well at least I’ve heard it’s so
And my friends down in Georgia wish I’d come and say hello
Nashville’s been calling and once I tried to go
But I never made it past the hills of San Bernadino

I can see the ocean everyday out the windshield as I drive
And the San Gabriel mountains through the smog on the 405
The nightingales and the siren’s wails might keep me up all night
You may think it sounds like hell but to me it’s paradise

Cause I’m a country girl from the city of angels
I scraped my knees on the asphalt alleys
My concrete world is a fertile pasture

They rock and roll bands and cellular phones and traffic jams no place like home
The city of angels

Never learned to talk like a country girl never learned to rope or ride
Country girl from a big family and I’m an only child
But I got a big heart and a big guitar and a taste for running wild
So if you can see through my city roots I think you’ll realize

that I’m a country girl from the city of angels
I scraped my knees on the asphalt alleys
My concrete world is a fertile pasture

They rock and roll bands and cellular phones and traffic jams no place like home
The city of angels

We go together like eggs and ham
We go together like toast and jam
Break-feast afternoon delight
Baby won’t you give me a bite

Nothing quite like catfish on a hook
Fry it up baby my boy can cook
I never had a meal that I didn’t like
Baby won’t you give me a bite

Starving isn’t good
So come on fill my plate
I’m a hungry girl
I’m not too shy to say it

We go together like eggs and ham
We go together like toast and jam
Break-feast afternoon delight
Baby won’t you give me a bite

Brown and warm like fresh baked bread
You’re the hurricane that went to my head
You’re the remedy red beans and rice
Baby won’t you give me a bite

You’re the cream cake that I love to eat
When I got a taste for something sweet
Got a sweet, sweet tooth and I got all night
Baby won’t you give me a bite

Starving isn’t good
So come on fill my plate
I’m a hungry girl
I’m not too shy to say it

We go together like eggs and ham
We go together like toast and jam
Break-feast afternoon delight

Baby won’t you give me a bite

I'll be Bonnie you can be Clyde
Escape while we still can
We'll live on love and juicyfruit
Sleep in your getaway van

Daddy's outside screaming at the driveway
We'll leave in in our dust
I just wanna live my own way
With someone I can trust

Are you ready for something, ready to take a ride
It's the wild things, wild things
It's the wild things inside
That make you shine

Mustangs graze by the side of the road
We pass them like a train
Broke down half way to Laredo
in the eye of a hurricane

get my rope and lasso
we'll pull some horses down
if we ride all day and beat the rain
we can make that bordertown

Are you ready for something, ready to feel alive
It's the wild things, wild things
It's the wild things inside
That make you shine

Clyde robbed a Mighty Mart
Gun in his hand
Kissed me and we rode over the edge
Of the swollen Rio Grande

If it was my choice to take
I'd gladly give it back
Throw in two horses
And a bag full of cash

Now I'm waiting for someone, I'll be waiting my whole life
It's the wild things, wild things
It's the wild things inside
That make you shine

Oh come oh come Emanuel
Touch of your hand is heaven still
I know you will I know you will
I know you'll be coming back I know you will

Sound like a trumpet down the hall
Was that my name I heard somebody call
Who is there who is there
Who is calling out my name
Who is there

Who's gonna love me when I'm old
Where is the food that fills my soul
Will providence walk past my block
What kind of love have I got

My cup is filled overflowing
I watch it spill now that I know
I got him I got him
I got him to hold me up

I got him...

Tell daddy that I love him
Tell Carl not to cry
And Sarah don't you wear my Sunday dress
I'll be back before the snow covers Ohio
And I'll try to send some money when I can

Mommy tell them not to worry
I'm not in a hurry it's just a
Sentimental journey
Somewhere west, must be better than this
Jerkwatertown

There's a river in St. Louis they say gets wider than the sea
But it just looks like mud to me
I'm not wasting any time here I'll get the Sata Fe Line here
The rails will set me free

'cause I'm the only girl
who can see the world
from a boxcar door
and now my hair is short
and Jimmy's trousers hide
my secret from the boys

So Mommy tell them not to worry
I'm not in a hurry it's just a
Sentimental journey
Somewhere west, must be better than this
Jerkwatertown

Well I out of Santa Fe it was just too hot to stay there
Living like a cactus in the dust
I'm riding straight through all the way I want to feel the ocean spray
It's Hollywood or bust

'cause I'm the only girl
who can see the world
from a boxcar door
and now my hair is short
and Jimmy's trousers hide
my secret from the boys

So Mommy tell them not to worry
I'm not in a hurry it's just a
Sentimental journey
Somewhere west, must be better than this
Jerkwatertown

you ain't got the kind of love I want
ain't got the kind of love I need
but every time we say goodbye
I know you're coming back to me

I tried so hard not to want your touch
tried hard not to drag it on
but every time those tail lights shine
I know you're coming back to me

I can't wait for your return
to feel the sting
to feel the burn
this twisted game of pain I miss it
I'm dreaming of your poison kisses

you ain't got the kind of love I want
ain't got the kind of love I need
but every time we say goodbye
I know you're coming back to me

I can't wait for your return
to feel the sting
to feel the burn
this twisted game of pain I miss it
I'm dreaming of your poison kisses

you ain't got the kind of love I want
ain't got the kind of love I need
but every time we say goodbye
I know you're coming back to me

every time those tail lights shine
I know you're coming back to me

lord every time we say goodbye
I know you're coming back to me

If one embrace could wash clean what was said
In the salt of the sea we'd be free of regret
If I could just hold you and be once again
In the arms of oblivion

The view from the coastline is lovely tonight
And I wish I could see you but I am high as a kite
In the sky then I'm stuck in the sand to my chin
In the arms of oblivion

Oblivion's kiss
Is dark and it's deep
He's the one that you give
Secrets you keep
Oblivion's lips
Stutter to speak
But fail to recall the meaning

I never thought it would come down to this
Already forgot that meaningless kiss
But the ones I remember are the ones that I'll miss
In the arms of oblivion
