Lyrics

Bootprints in the mud, heart beatin' fast Got your scent on the wind, girl, you move too fast You're a wild one, slippin' through the trees Got me stalkin' these woods on my hands and knees Hair like fire, voice like sin I swear I heard you laughin' in the whip-poor-will wind I'm a shadow in a flannel disguise Eyes locked on the trail where your perfume lies I ain't tame, and I ain't clean I'm the space between a prayer and a dream I'm hungry like a coyote Howlin' for your love through the pines and smoke Scratchin' at the moon with a backwoods hope I ain't lettin' go 'til I feel that jolt I'm wild-eyed, dusted, and lean Got a heat in my blood that can't stay clean Girl, you move and I lose control Yeah, I'm hungry like a coyote for your soul You leave claw marks in my memory I chase your echo through the cypress trees Campfire burnin' but I can't sit still Got your name in my mouth like a backwoods thrill You're dancin' in headlights by the cornfield fence Movin' like sin dressed in innocence I reach, you vanish, like a smokey screen But I swear one day, I'll catch that queen You tease, you tear, you run, you roam But every hunter finds his home I'm hungry like a coyote Sniffin' through the dark where the wild things go Your shadow's hidin' in the mesquite low And my heart's run ragged on a dead-end road I'm bare-boned, driven, and mean Full moon fever in a faded jean Girl, you move like a ghost I stole And I'm hungry like a coyote for your soul Ain't no leash ever held me tight But I'd kneel if you showed tonight You're a storm in a girl-shaped flame And I'd burn just to know your name I'm hungry like a coyote Growlin' down the holler with a heart gone rogue Every beat's a track, every breath's your code And I'm diggin' through dusk for the one I know I'm no saint, just a soul gone wild Chasin' you like a lost exile Girl, you run, but I won't let go I'm hungry like a coyote for your soul
