Kris Delmhorst - North Dakota Lyrics
I love North Dakota cause you have never been thereand the days go on forever and the towns all look the sameand I can ride the back roads and I can walk the main streetsand show someone your picture but they would not know your nameThis city is so gloomy I could stay in bed for hoursmaybe that's why I'm still lying here asking you for moreand this never would have happened if you hadn't touched my elbowin that steamy crowded car heading down the western shoreAnd you take me to pieces your eye sees my favorite meand I don't know your word for it but you know what I meancause there's nothing I like better than to watch you flirting with the waitressthat's the most inspiring thing that I have ever seenAnd those times when you fight it it's just the way I like itAnd I wonder what I'm choosing I wonder what I'm losingCause at four o'clock this morning you told me the storyof a friend who couldn't stomach all the love that came from youand oh the straight up deep hurt of youand I don't think that I can handle anything so trueAnd that's why I am leaving and that's why I won't call youI am getting in the taxi and I'm heading for the planebut I still can feel you breathing I still can hear your fingers playand I still can see you standing in the window paneAnd I'm watching your goodbye and I'm trying to cryGuess I'm not built for this load guess it's back to the roadSo now Delaware is tollbooths Virginia is twilightand Michigan's beef jerky in a small boy's handand Arkansas' a skinny cop Oregon is purple handsand Flagstaff Arizona is delirium at nightAnd I love North Dakota cause you have never been thereand the days go on for hours and the towns all look the sameand I can ride the back roads and I can walk the main streetsand I could show everyone your picture but they would not know your nameI love, I love, I loveNorth Dakota
