ALL JUST TO GET TO YOU^©

Live 19 Oct 2001 version

[Joe]
I have stumbled on the plains
Staggered in the wind
Stood at a crossroad or two
Cried to a river
Swept to the sea
All just to get to you

[Bruce]
Well I have jumped a yellow cab
I hopped a rusty freight
I sang till my lips turned blue
Yeah I flown a silver bird
On top of the clouds
All just to get to you

[Joe and Bruce]
I ran too hard
I played too rough
I gave my love
Not near enough
I bled too red
I cried too blue
I beat my fist
Against the moon
All just to get to you

[Joe]
I have run from St. Paul
To Wichita Falls
Called you from sunny Baton Rouge
[Bruce]
Yeah I hocked everything
From my watch to my ring
All just to get to you

[Joe and Bruce]
I ran too hard
I played too rough
I gave my love
Not near enough
I bled too red
I cried too blue
I beat my fist
Against the moon
All just to get to you

[Joe]
From the California Shore
Where the mighty ocean roar
To the lands of the Hopi and the Sioux
[Bruce]
Well I walked the desert sand
Crossed the Rio Grande
All just to get to you

[Joe and Bruce]
I have stumbled on the plains
Staggered in the wind
Stood at a crossroad or two
I cried to a river
Swept to the sea
All just to get to you

[Joe and Bruce]
I ran too hard
I played too rough
I gave my love
Not near enough
I bled too red
I cried too blue
I beat my fist
Against the moon
All just to get to you

[Joe]
All just to get to you
[Bruce]
All just to get to you
[Joe]
All just to get to you
[Bruce]
All just to get to you
[Joe]
All just to get to you
[Bruce]
All just to get to you
