Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Up in your nephew's room, playing on his cousin's guitar
I wrote a song for you
ย
You have done drove off with everything I need
My box and my tumbleweed
I picked it up on the way to Flagstaff years ago
I was hanging on to everything you had the grace to show
You were young and you were hungry
Lord knows I was hungry too
We were both flat-out starving
For something worthwhile to lose
ย
Looking over the hill at the lights of your hometown
I wrote this song for you
Thinking of the way we met, a girl home from school
And a boy just passing through
I got a job as a cut man at a house just down the road
I had never been to town before, and I didn't know a soul
I was young and I was hungry
Lord knows you were hungry too
We were both flat-out starving
For something worthwhile to lose
You were my bread and I was your honey
Up against the dark red wine
Trying to hold on to the lovely
Through the bitter of our times
ย
Agate white wedding dress, and turquoise on your ring
Upright bass and violin as you walk the aisle to me
I was young and I was hungry
Lord knows you were hungry too
We were both flat-out starving
For something worthwhile to lose
You were my bread and I was your honey
Up against the dark red wine
Trying to hold on to the lovely
Through the bitter of our times
