I Wouldn't But I Want To

       A song about saying one thing and meaning another.

       It is presented here with Band in a Box, Reaper, Cakewalk, EZDrummer and Ozone 11.   Dave Bell of Blue Attitude played guitar, and I added bass and vocal.

I Wouldn't But I Want To


Satisfied that the time is right, and the tumblers fall in place.

There is nothing holding me to this tired life, and I could use more space.

The wavy mountain lines that are calling me, they seem to know my soul.

So I must turn you down cuz I'm headin' out of town. So now I guess I'll go.


I wouldn't but "I want to." You know I need to think this through.

"It's like I said I want to," but I wouldn't want to with you.

 

You can see that I'm running late, and my pickup truck is packed.

So forgive me if I bounce. We can call it fate.

Our deck right now is stacked.

There's a storm that's on its way and my wipers barely work

so I need to beat the rain.

It could've been great fun, but I really gottra run.

We'll try again someday.

 

Satisfied that the time is right, and the tumblers fall in place.

There's a life I need to live where I'm free to just be me,

and I could use more space.

The trees that line the path to the big sky up ahead

are pulling me along.

Knowing where I'd be if I let her get to me, I knew I wasn't wrong.


I wouldn't but "I want to." I'm so glad I thought that through.

It's like I told her, "I want to," but thought, "I wouldn't with you."
