Side Of The Road Lyrics

you wait in the car at the side of the road
will you go and stand awhile
i wanna know you're there but i wanna be alone

if only for a minute or two
i wanna see what it feels like to be without you
i wanna know the touch of my own skin
against the sun, against the wind

i walked out in a field, the grass was high
it rubbed against my legs
i just staredand looked out on the open space
at a farm house out a-ways

i wondered about the people who lived there
i wondered if they were happy and content
were there children and husband and wife?
did she love him and take her hair down at night?

if i stray away too far don't go out and try to find me
it doesn't mean that i don't love you
it doesn't mean i won't come back and stand beside you

it only means i need a little time
to follow the unbroken line
to a place where the wild things grow
to a place where i used to always go

if only for a minute or two
i wanna see what it feels like to be without you
i wanna know the touch of my own skin
against the sun, against the wind

crappy female crap. Stupid females never know what they want, but they want it badly.

@fullmooninu Very astute observation. Maybe you should become the music critic for ROLLING STONE. They'll appreciate your stunning insight.
