All of Me Wants You

(c) Dana Jo Forseth, 1999

I used to have a vision of bein’ an old-time Ozark Mountain wife

Knittin’ sweaters, sewin’ quilts

When I was eight, I thought I’d spend my life

Lookin’ after a lumberjack,

There’d always be plenty to do

Part of me always wanted a mountain man

But all of me wants you

When I was young, I used to love to fantasize about the beach

Watchin’ the sunset from the shore

That kind of life was out of reach

Bringin’ in the nets with a fisherman

Who I’d love my whole life through

Part of me may always want the sea

But all of me wants you

I never would be happy in that cabin in the woods

Or swayin’ in the salty ocean air

But when I’m in your arms there isn’t anything as good

‘Cause lovin’ you could take me anywhere.

I always thought that I’d end up with a tractor-drivin’ kind of man

The kind who’d try to make a living

From the way he loved the land

Eating supper in a truck

While we listen to the 6 o’clock news

Part of me will never leave the farm

But all of me wants you

It doesn’t really matter now, just who I thought you’d be

Or where I thought that I’d grow old and grey

‘Cause love your life or leave it, you’re the only one for me

And I wouldn’t have it any other way

So we can take the mountain roads and build a fire on a starry night

Or leave our footprints in the sand

Underneath an ocean sky

Head back home and help with harvest

If it’s somethin’ we’d like to do

Then go back home and spend forever

‘Cause all of me wants you
