YOU'VE GOT A WARRANT
(OUT ON MY AFFECTION)
You’ve got a warrant out on my affection
Got me all tied up inside
But I might just run forever
Cause I’m just starting to catch my stride
I only feel the heat on the pavement
When I’m barefoot on the street
And sometimes when we’re together
I get blisters on my feet
Though there’s not a fight in sight
I still keep my powder dry
‘Cause love can only keep me on the run
I promise that I’ll hold you tight
But promise me you’ll dry your eyes
‘Cause I’ll be gone before the morning comes
And the times when you flew solo
Through the canyons of my mind
Are the times I best remember
When I’m out there flying blind
Though there’s not a fight in sight
I still keep my powder dry
‘Cause love can only keep me on the run
I promise that I’ll hold you tight
But promise me you’ll dry your eyes
‘Cause I’ll be gone before the morning comes
And when the windshield wipers
And the radio keep time
To and AM station’s waltzes
Could anything be more sublime
I may never get it right
I don’t care how yard I try
So someone tell me when we’re having fun
I promise that I’ll hold you tight
But promise me you’ll dry your eyes
‘Cause I’ll be gone before the morning comes
"There's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand.
...
"You don't wanna get mixed up with a guy like me. I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel.
"So long, Dott."
