North Dakota Lyrics
I love North Dakota
'Cause you have never been there
And the days go on forever
And the towns all look the sameAnd I can ride the back roads
And I can walk the main streets
And show someone your picture
But they would not know your nameThis city is so gloomy
I could stay in bed for hours
Maybe that's why I'm still lying here
Asking you for more'Cause this never would've happened
If you hadn't touched my elbow
In that steamy crowded car
Heading down the western shoreAnd you take me to pieces
Your eye sees my favorite me
And I don't know your word for it
But you know what I mean'Cause there's nothing I like better
Than to watch you flirting with the waitress
And that's the most inspiring thing
That I have ever seenAnd there's times that you fight it
It's just the way I like it
And I wonder what I'm choosing
I wonder what I'm losing'Cause at four o'clock this morning
You told me the story
Of a friend who couldn't stomach
All the love that came from youAnd oh the straight up
Deep hurt of you
And I don't think that I can handle
Anything that trueAnd that's why I am leaving
And that's why I won't call you
I am getting in the taxi
Headed for the planeBut I still can feel you breathing
Still can hear your fingers play
Still can see you
Standing in the window paneAnd I'm watching your goodbye
And I'm trying to cry
Guess I'm not built for this load
Guess it's back to the roadSo now Delaware is tollbooths
Virginia is twilight
And Michigan's beef jerky
In a small boy's handAnd Arkansas' a skinny cop
Oregon is purple hands
And Flagstaff Arizona
Is delirium at nightAnd I love North Dakota
'Cause you have never been there
And the days go on for hours
And the buffalo rowingAnd I can ride the back roads
I can walk the main streets
And no I never ask me
When I'm coming homeAnd I love North Dakota
'Cause you have never been there
And the days go on forever
And the towns all look the sameAnd I can ride the back roads
I can walk the main streets
I could show everyone your picture
But they would not know your nameI love, I love, I love
I love, I love, I love
North Dakota
North Dakota, yeah
