Holed up in Vegas for only one week And I caught you tongue and cheek by the side of the road Of an automobile expo Turned up the volume and you started to weep And I thought you a lamb
Even in the sigh of the headlight sea Your tears were salty ocean You opened up the engine and listened to it sing And I called you a lamb
You knew your daddy til you were thirteen And then he took his leave for the likes of the land And the far off salty ocean We shook our bodies and we started to scream And I asked you again
Tell me when we grow up do we ever go home? You said home becomes the highway
We ordered movies on a motel screen until you needed me warm inside of your mouth And my skin was salty ocean And then you recommended I'm a woman to keep And I called you a man
