Daisies stand up on their tip-toes Clouds tumble over themselves in the sky And all the pretty horses come runnin� to her And even the dust devils pray That they'll catch her eye I haunt her house from the outside I watch her bake cornbread and talk on the phone And the wireless on the inside plays a sad sweet song A mute moonlit statue am I, she waltzes alone But baby, baby, I could call you baby If I weren�t so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue And baby, baby, I could call you baby If I weren�t so green and dumb The wind ain�t stopped blowin� since morning It�s got me froze up on the inside And I could get warm in the bunk house And thaw out on coffee and bread But baby, baby, I could call you baby If I weren�t so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue But baby, baby, I could call you baby If I weren�t so green and dumb I need your government warning like I need a hole in my head Well, I won�t shoot your coyotes And I won�t burn your weeds Your paycheck won�t fill up this hollow It won't dull all the aching But baby, baby, I could call you baby If I weren�t so empty in the head and tied up in the tongue But baby, baby, I could call you baby If I weren�t so green & dumb If I weren�t so green & dumb If I weren�t so green & dumb If I weren�t so green & dumb
