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 same

and I can ride the back roads and I can walk the main streets

and show someone your picture but they would not know your name



This city is so gloomy I could stay in bed for hours

maybe that`s why I`m still lying here asking you for more

and this never would have happened if you hadn`t touched my elbow

in that steamy crowded car heading down the western shore



And 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

that`s the most inspiring thing that I have ever seen



And those times when 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 you

and oh the straight up deep hurt of you

and I don`t think that I can handle anything so true

And that`s why I am leaving and that`s why I won`t call you

I am getting in the taxi and I`m heading for the plane

but I still can feel you breathing I still can hear your fingers play

and I still can see you standing in the window pane



And 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 road



So now Delaware is tollbooths Virginia is twilight

and Michigan`s beef jerky in a small boy`s hand

and Arkansas` a skinny cop Oregon is purple hands

and Flagstaff Arizona is delirium at night



And I love North Dakota cause you have never been there

and the days go on for hours and the towns all look the same

and I can ride the back roads and I can walk the main streets

and I could show everyone your picture but they would not know your name

I love, I love, I love

North Dakota
