Always Want What You Can't Have

There's a starry eyed woman that lives up the road
Pick her wild flowers, oh and she tells me no
I don't know why, I want her so bad
Guess you always want what you can't have

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
And I don't know why I need her, 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
The river runs clear and wild, oh and at times it moves slow
Your man he won't sell it, no matter how much I ask
Guess you always want what you can't have

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
And I drive past that old man's land; I just shake my head and laugh
I guess you always want what you can't have

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
And I don't know why we need it; it makes us forget what we had
But I guess you always want what you can't have
