Alejandro Escovedo - Mountain of Mud lyrics

Try to hide a pearl in a mountain of mud You know the water's gonna find it someday I tried to tell the girl of a stick in the mud But she didn't learn it that way So I'm feeling kinda bad I asked her for a hand She said I didn't make you that way Well that's not the point and even if it was You know I still need some love today I want some, I really want some, I want some now I want some, I really want some, I want some now You know if I held the key to the pearly gates You know I'd open up and let you inside If I had a dream to which you could relate You know I'd let it ride Though the price, even that I would pay To put you by my side So c'mon little beggar won't you jump inside C'mon let's really ride I want some, I really want some, I want some now I want some, I really want some, I want some now If you tried to hide a pearl in a mountain of mud...
