Carry Me

from the album "Old Angel"

(2010 Steve Hindalong / Derri Daugherty)

I offered a prayer to
The queen of the highway
Asked her to set my soul free
And you are no angel
But right now your sweet kiss
Feels like redemption to me
And it don’t matter much where we are
‘Cause I’m right where I wanna be
Safe in your arms

Carry me
I’m too proud to crawl
Carry me
I’m too tired to run
Carry me
Over Mojave
Under the Navajo sun
Carry me

Remember Raquel Welch
In that fur bikini
The dinosaur bird swooping down
Loana the fair one
Flailing and screaming
Soon as her feet left the ground
Sometimes there’s nowhere to hide
Just as well to surrender
And go for the ride

Carry me
I’m too proud to crawl
Carry me
I’m too tired to run
Carry me
Over Mojave
Under the Navajo sun
Carry me

Leave me to float on a cloud
If you must set me down
Drop me in the Pacific
I’ll swim to the shore or I’ll drown
Never mind that now

Carry me
I’m too proud to crawl
Carry me
I’m too tired to run
Carry me
Over Mojave
Under the Navajo sun
Carry me…
