I Can See Your Tracks Lyrics

Oh, I can see your tracks
But I won't fall back
I just hope for rain
Or some kind of crazy wind
To erase them, chase them
Into oblivion

Oh, I can smell the smoke
From your firepit
But I'll leave you alone
And sleep in this lonely cave
And pray for a storm to
Scrub this dirt away

Oh ho, oh ho ho, I can hear the snakes
Creeping 'cross the scene
I'm quaking in my boots
But you won't hear me scream
You're halfway down to New Orleans
You're halfway down to New Orleans

Correct lyrics, from her website:

Oh I can see your tracks But I won’t follow them I’ll just hope for rain Or some kind of crazy wind To erase them And chase them into oblivion

Oh I can smell the smoke From your fire, babe But I’ll leave you alone And sleep in this lonely cave And pray for A storm to scrub this dirt away

Oh I can hear the snakes Creeping cross the scene I’m quaking in my boots But you won’t hear me scream You’re half way Down to New Orleans You’re half way Down to New Orleans

Love this track, and as for the meaning I think it's about trying to resist someone/forget about someone that's bad for you.
