Lyrics
he’s a rambling man suitcase in his hand
left his true love to make it in a different land
made it out west only to become a working hand
and when he dreams at night all he sees is burning sand
weeping coyote, what do you see
what dark secrets do your desert eyes keep
weeping coyote, why you hang your tail so low
do you know something, something I don’t
she wanted to be a famous dancer, wanted to light up the T.V. screen
when she got to Hollywood she realized there was no such thing
got her heart trampled she pawned everything
pawned her wedding dress, yeah she pawned that little wedding ring
weeping coyote, what do you see
what dark secrets do your desert eyes keep
weeping coyote, why you hang your tail so low
do you know something, something I don’t
life’s a gamble, it goes a tickety-tock
you want everything, you want everyone you haven’t got (and you can’t have everybody)
travel this whole wide world only to return to the exact same spot
well you can’t go far with a crack in your heart
weeping coyote, what do you see
what dark secrets do your desert eyes keep
weeping coyote, why you hang your tail so low
do you know something, something I don’t
