Dialogue #2

Lyrics

Look out man alive
 Fifty-five miles an hour they want us to go on this Interstate
 And you go fifty-five and you get run over by a truck so what do you do
 Man I must be nuts I just got back from California
 All that time out there chasin' after her
 Well she must be worth a round trip
 Worth it
 You know there was a time I'd run naked through the snow just to touch that woman
 But you wouldn't now ha
 Where we're at anyway
 I don't know I believe that's the Platte River you want to go fishin' again
 I had enough fishin'
 It's still a long way to California you know
 You know I just might change my mind before we get there
 You sound like you got no control over whether you go or not
 That's just it what is it about a woman that makes such a dummy out of a man
 She was wild even when she was lovin' me man
 I knew tomorrow it'd likely be somebody else she would be with
 But you know just that idea that the next day she could be lovin' me again
 That's what kept me on her tail chasin' after all the time
 She really was poison but I guess it was good poison
 Look at me here I go again hopin' for another dose of that sweet poison she had man
 Did you ever have a woman like that
 Yeah I guess I have
 You know what I mean
 My woman's a lady
 A lady
 A lady will give you the best lovin' you ever had
 I don't care what you had in California but even a lady's love can burn out though
 But what I mean is a good woman a kind sweet considerate understandin' woman
 That likes to be treated like she treats you (that's bull man)
 And if that ain't bull the better she gives love the more she wants to give
 I know what I'm talkin' about a lady
 Lovin's better if a lovin' heart's goin' to give another and a lady loves to give
 Mine did for a little while
