The Woman for Me Songtext
von Rayland Baxter

Never in my lifetime
Have these eyes of mine been fortunate to see
The woman for me
But I hang around this old town
Dealing with the same crowds in the street
Will I ever see?

You can find me on the hillside looking all around
Or out there by the oak trees on the edges of town
It don′t matter where I go
It don't matter what I see
′Cause I ain't ever gonna find the woman for me

She moves just like the springtime
And she's quiet like the voices in the wind
That never end
When she calls me I come runnin′
It don′t matter where I am
'Cause I am her man


Oh, we go out for a long walk by the dreamer′s sea
But the only footprints in the sand are left by me
From the top of the mountain
To the bottom of the sea
Tell me, Lord, where do I find the woman for me?

Well, I thought I got a hold of her
Back when I was young enough to fall
For a crazy girl
But time went by and I found that I
Was nothing more than just a boy
In a crazy world
But I got dirt on my face and I'm losin′ my mind
I been swimmin' through this desert for the longest time

No matter where I go
No matter what I see
She′s always on the other side
The woman
Oh, the woman for me
