He fell in love with a reservation girl
During the time of the sugarbeat harvest
They moved out west to the coast where he built her a bed
Made of shagbark from Sherwood forest
And life was good until she told him goodbye
Said they was better off living separate lives
And maybe they was
But should we stop and take her with us
Should we stop and take her with us
Should we stop and take her with us
For all our time
We left Worcester with our boots and our bags
And America undressed herself in front of our eyes
My sister told me
My sister told me
That the games in the hills where the hickory falls
And you never know when you gonna run from it all
Like she did
But should we stop and take her with us
Should we stop and take her with us
Should we stop and take her with us
For all our time
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
You know its just so hard to see that you were right
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
You know its just so hard to see that you were right
Oh, that you were right
She was dangling her legs over the little Colorado river
Catching the last bit of sunlight in all of Arizona
Told me,
Arizona told me.
So I asked her if she wanted to fly
If maybe she needed a ride
Anywhere at all
But should we stop and take her with us
Should we stop and take her with us
Should we stop and take her with us
For all our time
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
You know its just so hard to see that you were right
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
You know its just so hard to see that you were right
Oh, that you were right
Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less.
Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less.
I tried, He said underneath his breath,
I tried. X2
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
You know its just so hard to see that you were right
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
You know its just so hard to see that you were right
Oh, that you were right
