Coyote

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kacey Musgraves] I saw a coyote running down the highway last night And it made me think of you, yeah, it made me think of you For a second as my headlights reflected in his eyes It looked like he'd been crying, it looked like he'd been crying Trying to find somebody or some place he's always looking for [Chorus: Kacey Musgraves] Pretty things that can't be held, can't return the love they felt You're only gonna hurt yourself holding out your hand But I still think of you sometimes and the flash of fear in your eyes I got too close and now I understand, now I understand [Verse 2: Kacey Musgraves & Gregory Alan Isakov, Kacey Musgraves ] He said , "Hey, I know it's been a minute, hope I didn't wake you up But I just got back in town and I'm over by your house I can't defend the way I've been or the shadows where I hide But, baby, let me in and at least just let me try Try to find a way to change your mind before the light comes in" [Chorus: Kacey Musgraves] Pretty things that can't be held, can't return the love they felt You're only gonna hurt yourself holding out your hand But I still think of you sometimes and the flash of fear in your eyes I got too close and now I understand, now I understand [Instrumental Break] [Outro: Kacey Musgraves] I saw a coyote running down the highway last night And it made me think of you, yeah, it made me think of you
