In Coyote, Knopfler pays tribute to possibly one of the most iconic duos from the Looney Tunes. In countless episodes, Wile E. Coyote desperately tries to catch and eat the Road Runner, oftentimes using extremely complex contraptions and deceptions. However, the Road Runner is much faster than him a...
[Verse 1]
Look at me coyote
Don't let a little road dust put you off
You can't judge a book
Well, you know that stuff
There's a tear in my upholstery
And a hole in my shoe
But don't you just wish that you could
Make half of the speed I do
[Chorus]
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
[Verse 2]
You can't catch me coyote
Though there may be blood on the tracks
There may be some bridges burning
Behind our backs
But I got my laundry on the backseat
And an itinerary too
And don't you just wish that you could
Make half of the speed I do
[Chorus]
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
[Bridge]
Now I'm a speck on your horizon
Getting smaller fast
An ambush wouldn't be surprising
I hope it's better than your last
[Verse 3]
Once again the roadrunner
Leaves the coyote in the dirt
You've got another plan of action
But we all know it ain't never gonna work
It must be hard having dog dreams
That never come true
And don't you just wish that you could
Make half of the speed I do
[Chorus]
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
