The thing
s that I prayed for
never prayed for me
The things that I've trained for
never trained for me
The things I've arranged for
I've learned to wait an d see
All I know is money's short
and love is never free
Why don't I, why don't I,
why don't we settle down?
Why don't I, why don't I,
on the other side of town?
The buses run on time,
their travels are nuts and strange
Come on, come on, Wynonna,
you're itchin' for a change
We wandered round the world
on the cheap of a guitar
Learnin' by that process
you can only go so far
The festival of fireflies
let all the city burn
After gettin' out of jail,
my passport's full of cash
Wynonna, Wynonna,
why don't we settle down?
Why don't I?
Why don't I?
On the other side of town
Why don't I?
Why don't I?
Life could be so free
Why don't I?
Why don't I?
Come on, come on with me
A thousand men have fallen
on their face to get to you
Like Helen was to Troy,
New York City was to you
Everybody knows the rules,
they line up and attack
Loser takes the winner
Who dared to turn her back?
Wynonna, Wynonna
Why don't we settle down?
Wynonna, Wynonna
On the other side of town
Wynonna, Wynonna
Please put down the gun
Wynonna, Wynonna
You can't shoot out the sun
Wynonna, Wynonna
You can't
Shoot out the sun
Shoot out the sun, shoot out the sun
It should have a song
It should have a song
