lyrics

I love him like a Johsua Tree loves its water
Don’t always need it but it’s nice when it gets hotter
I love him like a redwood loves the sky
What’s the fun if I could have him all the time?

We stayed stoned through the width of South Dakota
Only stopping once for cigarettes and road sodas
There’s nothing left in that god forsaken state
Nothing there left for us to argue or debate

I love him like a ferry loves deasel fuel, you know
We both missed it on that Thursday afternoon
It was summertime in Hyannis and we had to park
In some private lot
Should’ve left earlier and it was probably all my fault

I love him like a Johsua Tree loves its water
Don’t always need it but it’s nice when it gets hotter
I love him like a redwood loves the sky
What’s the fun if I could have him all the time?

I work, I work, I work, I work, I work, I work, I work
I work, I work, I work, so hard

I work, I work, I work, I work, I work, I work, I work
I work, I work, I work, so hard

I put myself through college while he was doing cocain
Playing three hour bar shows where nobody knew my name
When he called me up one November night to ask if he could sit in
I was taught it’s so much easier to just forgive

I love him like he loves his new girlfriend
If he had it his way, he’d never talk to me again except:
“Hey howya doin’, you know I miss you a lot too.”
But out of all the boys in the United States, oh,
I would still ride with you.

I work, I work, I work, I work, I work, I work, I work
I work, I work, I work, so hard

I work, I work, I work, I work, I work, I work, I work
I work, I work, I work, so hard

I work, I work, I work, I work, I work, I work, I work
I work, I work, I work, so hard

I work, I work, I work, I work, I work, I work, I work
I work, I work, I work, so hard

I love him like a redwood loves the sky
What’s the fun if I could have him all the time?
