Lyrics
0:14I saw a coyote running down the highway last night
0:21And it made me think of you
0:24Yeah, it made me think of you
0:27For a second, as my headlights reflected in his eyes
0:33It looked like he'd been cryin'
0:36It looked like he'd been cryin'
0:38Trying to find somebody or some place
0:44He's always looking for
0:48Pretty things that can't be held
0:51Can't return the love they felt
0:54You're only gonna hurt yourself
0:57Holding out your hand
1:00But I still think of you sometimes
1:03And the flash of fear in your eyes
1:06I got too close, and now I understand
1:10Now I understand
1:29He said, "Hey, I know it's been a minute
1:32I hope I didn't wake you up
1:36But I just got back in town
1:39And I'm over by your house
1:41I can't defend the way I've been
1:45Or the shadows where I hide
1:48But baby, let me in
1:50And at least just let me try"
1:53Try to find a way to change your mind
1:59Before the light comes in
2:03Pretty things that can't be held
2:06Can't return the love they felt
2:09You're only gonna hurt yourself
2:12Holding out your hand
2:15But I still think of you sometimes
2:18And the flash of fear in your eyes
2:21I got too close, and now I understand
2:25Now I understand
2:54I saw a coyote running down the highway last night
3:01And it made me think of you
3:04Yeah, it made me think of you
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 cryin' It looked like he'd been cryin' Trying to find somebody or some place He's always looking for 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 He said, "Hey, I know it's been a minute I 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 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 I saw a coyote running down the highway last night And it made me think of you Yeah, it made me think of you
