Coyote Girl
(words & music by Paul Jensen)

She grew up on the wrong side of New Orleans
Never had a dime to her name
But the local boys, she drove ‘em crazy just the same
Raised on old Hank and Johnny
And Bonnie Raitt sliding on down
Her old man’s collection, heard it spinning round and round

Standing in the shadows, waiting for a pearl
She’s a Coyote Girl

Doesn’t line dance with the ladies
Doesn’t do shots with the boys
They’re too busy movin’ to hear the music through the noise
Buy she’ll take a neat pour of whiskey
To take the edge off for a while
And feel that rhythm take her somewhere deep inside

Standin in the shadows, waiting for a pearl
She’s a Coyote Girl

She likes to sleep all day
She’s gonna find her way
She likes the rhythm and blues
She wears her red boots

She started pickin at nine, switched to mando by ten
You know that twang, it makes her smile now and then
Keeps on lookin ‘round for the right one
She’ll keep on waiting ‘till then
While another song makes her come around again

Standing in the shadows, waiting for a pearl
She’s a Coyote Girl
She’s a Coyote Girl
