Adelaide

He fell in love with a reservation girl
During the time of the sugar beat harvest
They moved out west to the coast
Where he built her a bed
Made of shag bark from Sherwood Forest

And things were good until she told him goodbye
Said, they were better off living separate lives
Maybe they was

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

So, we left Worcester with our boots in our bags
And America undressed herself in front of our eyes
My sister told me, my sister told me

Had these gangs in the hills when the hickory falls
And you never know when you're gonna
Need to 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 it's just so hard to see
That you were right

She was dangling her legs
Over the little Colorado river
Asking my last bit of sunlight
And all the Arizona told me
Arizona told me

So, I asked her if she wanted to fly
Yup, maybe she needed a ride
To go anywhere at all

Adelaide
You know you're just no good for me
You know it's just so hard to see
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've tried, he said underneath his breath, I've tried

Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less
Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less
I've tried, he said underneath his breath, I've tried

Adelaide
You know you're just no good for me
You know it's just so hard to see
That you were right

Adelaide
You know you're just no good for me
You know it's just so hard to see
That you were right
