All Just To Get To You Lyrics - Joe Ely

I have stumbled on the plains, staggered in the wind 

Stood at a crossroad or two 

Cried to a river, swept to the sea 

All just to get to you 

I have jumped the yellow cab, hopped a rusty freight 

Sang till my lips turned blue 

Flown a silver bird, from tops of the clouds 

All just to get to you 

I ran too hard, I played too rough 

I gave my love, not near enough 

I bled too red, I cried too blue 

I beat my fist against the moon 

All just to get to you 

I have run from St. Paul to Wichita Falls 

Called you from Sunny Baton Rouge 

I hocked everything from my watch to my ring 

All just to get to you 

I ran too hard, I played too rough 

I gave you love, not near enough 

I bled too red, I cried too blue 

I beat my fist against the moon 

All just to get to you 

From the California shore, where the mighty ocean roars 

To the lands of the Hopi and the Sioux 

I walked the desert sands, I crossed the Rio Grande 

All just to get to you 

I have stumbled on the plains, staggered in the wind 

Stood at a crossroad or two 

Cried to a river, swept to the sea 

All just to get to you 

I ran too hard, I played too rough 

I gave my love, not near enough 

I've bled too red, I cried too blue 

I beat my fist against the moon 

All just to get to you 

All just to get to you 

All just to get to you
