I saw a white ship it was sailing out to sea from the old town harbor I wondered if the boys on board could earn a good living I just sit and float here in my old boat I call her el Diablo I saw some soaking wet newlyweds out by Notre Dame coveting a bride I stopped to look upon wanting a companion as I lust left and right I wanna be free but lock her down tight I know it ain't good and I know it ain't right but I don't often do what I'm supposed to do I could be good for a season then suddenly it all falls through People stop me and they ask me which way they oughta go I say I don't know, I'm just passing through here alone I ain't got no home The policemen at the station are pacing with their automatic rifles Some people feel so safe with a gun on the arm I was trying to get somewhere where I could feel some ancient feeling I could fly in a plane or ride on a passenger train it's all the same Big cities, mountains, seas or golden planes An American don't need no airplane we got fires in the west in the east hurricanes still, an American don't need no airplane from Reno lights over to Chinatown I'll keep my feet right here on the ground the sky is blue and the grass is green an American don't need no airplane

I don't love you this I know It may sound harsh it may sound cold no tempered lines, consoling words No, I don't love you this I know Can't take you by your hand and stroll Where gardens bloom and love birds call just to leave you by a wailing wall Alone and scared when darkness falls No I don't love you this is sure I'll say it twice I'll make it clear Can't tell you what you wanna hear Take this now and begin to heal The night I first held you close the vapor of your breath the rhythm of your pulse The swelling of our loving parts exposed vulnerable and raw atop this old foundation slab we gave to this all that we had A flood of doubt rose to my chest I've been tempted by strangers I've never met I've been careless and I'm filled with regret to love you must first love yourself But we took the time to know and now we'll brave the world alone
