There’s a starry eyed woman.

Who lives up the road.
  D             G                 A              D
I pick her wild flowers, Lord she still tells me no.
D            G        D             G
I don’t know why, but I want her so bad.

I guess that’s life, oh that’s just the way it goes.

Well you won’t get something in your hands that you ain't never got to hold.
      G                D                   G                D
And I don’t know why I need her, but she’s about to drive me mad.

But I guess you always want what you can’t have.

There’s a little piece of land, where I used to go.

Where the river runs clear and wild, oh and time, it moves slow.
    D                G                 D           G
The old man he won’t sell it, no matter how much I ask.

And when I drive past that old man's land, I just shake my had and laugh.

I guess you always want what you can’t have.
