Northbound 35 |
Northbound 35 |
Through the iron hills |
Under infidel skies |
It’s two hundred miles to drive |
You won’t be home |
I saw an elsebound train |
On the overpass |
In the driving rain |
Every ticket costs the same |
For where you can’t go |
CHORUS: |
Mustang horses, champagne glasses |
Anything frail anything wild |
It’s the price of living motion |
What’s beautiful is broken |
And grace is just the measure of a fall |
So I rolled into your town |
I passed the smokestacks |
And the ore docks down off of Main |
And the sky spun around |
With her diamonds on fire |
We fought all night and then we danced |
In your kitchen |
You were as much in my hands |
As water or darkness or nothing |
Can ever be held |
CHORUS |
It’s just flashes that we own |
Little snapshots |
Made of breath and of bone |
And out on the darkling plain alone |
They light up the sky |
It’s 51 and driving south |
Ain’t it funny |
How things’ll turn out |
I never even kissed you on the mouth |
When we said goodbye |
