Brandi Carlile - Joni

I knew a wild woman, she threw a party on her grave She went there tapping her cane and sipping champagne She's a wild woman, and she makes me feel so tame I can take her in a foot race, but I can't take her anywhere She laughs at all the pop stars, and she doesn't even care if they hear her She's a game of solitaire Tell 'em that story one more time, Joan, I won't look away Let me leave you in laughter, let me go get you a plate When I tell you I love you, and you tell me, "Okay" I know you believe me, and that's love in your way The curse of a wild woman is that she doesn't suffer fools She won't make cups of tea, and she doesn't bandage bruised egos Or superficial wounds But once I was sat beside her, when a fog rolled on the land She spoke in sacred language every soul could understand And with a broken body, many were healed by her hand Let's go dancing, you can lean on me, Joan, I won't even sway I'll find you a five-dollar blackjack table, make some dealer's day And when I tell you I love you, and you tell me, "Okay" I know you believe me, and that's love in your way She's a wild woman She's a wild, wild woman I knew a wild woman Touched by a wild woman Believed by a wild woman To be known, known by a wild woman A wild, wild, wild woman
