Music and Lyrics by Joe Ely
>From the Album, Letter To Laredo
All Just To Get To You
Intro: (repeat)
Verse 1:
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
Verse 2:
I have flagged a yellow cab
Hopped a rusty freight
Sang till my lips turned blue
Flown a silver bird
On the tops of the clouds
All just to get to you
Chorus:
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
Verse 3:
I have run from St. Paul
To Wichita Falls
Call'd you from sunny Baton Rouge
Hocked everything
>From my watch to my ring
All just to get to you
Chorus
Break:
Bb Bbsus (repeat four times)
then hit:
Verse 4:
>From the California Shore
Where the mighty ocean roars
To the lands of the Hopi and the Sioux
I walked the desert sands
Crossed the Rio Grande
All just to get to you
Verse 5:
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
Repeat and fade:
All just to get to you
