No One to Be

Barefoot in the mud
Just someone dressed in calico
Stone wallflower stance
I was never much but enough
To catch your straying eyes
That take what they can

You were chewin' straw grass
Didn't ask what's growin' on your mind
I'd already seen you hummin' to yourself
Like you don't care about nobody else
Or how bad they bleed

Weeds on the wall
Might as well build them up with stone
Stack odds evenly
Cowards hide at home dreamin' hard
While cowboys freely roam
With no one to please
Oooh
With no one to be

Played a lion's game in the barn
You batted me like yarn
Tried to provoke
I knew the rules
Didn't dare give in to you or else
You'd play me alone
Slow seep from the oil on your ivy skin
That spreads wildly
Tangled in your moods that swing
Like we used to do on my porch love seat

Weeds on the wall
Might as well build them up with stone
Stack odds evenly
Cowards hide at home dreamin' hard
While cowboys freely roam
With no where to be
Ohhh
With no one to be

Think of us
When the dust settles
From your run as a fading roan
Drink from your rusted can
In your callused hand
Cornered back home

Weeds on the wall
Might as well build it up with stones
Stack odds evenly
Cowards hide at home dreamin' hard
While cowboys freely roam
With no one to be
Ohhh
With no one to be
Ohhh
With no one to be
