Lyrics

Look at me coyote
Don't let a little road dust put you off
You can't judge a book
Well, you know that stuff
There's a tear in my upholstery
And a hole in my shoe
But don't you just wish that you could make half of the speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
Can't catch me coyote
Though there may be blood on the tracks
There may be some bridges burning
Behind our backs
But I got my laundry on the backseat
And an itinerary too
And don't you just wish that you could make half of the speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
Now I'm a speck on your horizon
Getting smaller fast
An ambush wouldn't be surprising
I hope it's better than your last
Once again, the roadrunner leaves the coyote in the dirt
You've got another plan of action, but we all know it ain't never gonna work
It must be hard having dog dreams that never come true
And don't you just with that you could make half of the speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
