Lyrics

I was tired of talking to myself
Tired of young girls talkin' crazy
Said, what I need now is a full-grown woman
Why you wanna be my baby?
And I was staring at my shoes when she took me by surprise
Saying "Use your imagination, babe, improvise"

Unbroken buckskin mare
Wildest thing I've seen
Tear down an engine all by herself
Sometimes she starts a fire with gasoline
I'm falling fast, and it's hard to disguise
She says, "Use your imagination, babe, improvise"

You can put down your best-laid plans
Plot your whole life through
But love's not something you can go out and find
If you're lucky, love finds you
Out here past the edge of my maps, there's nothing I recognize
She says, "Use your imagination, babe, improvise"

When the world's changed the locks
Windows are boarded shut
When your castle becomes your cage
When your highway becomes a rut
When you can't see new horizons with your old eyes
Use your imagination, babe, improvise

I've heard there's two kinds of women'll get you
And I suspect it's true
One kind makes you feel like home
One scares the hell out of you
I say show me how to love you, and she replies
"Use your imagination, babe"
