I was not troubled by the distance of your friend |
|
But she got close to Tennessee |
|
But she won't be back again |
|
Was it the thought of love or the rolling hills that she could not take |
|
You know the sweeter air is just too fair for a girl from the northern states |
|
The honesty of lucid tongues to you i will not preach |
|
The city can't stake dying claims to the kind face of southern speech |
|
As soon as you can please get past baltimore |
|
Cause you'll never see nothing as green as virginia flying past your door |
|
Don't go for coffee in our houses |
|
You've seen her best it's emotionless noise |
|
Slow down take a look at your hometown |
|
That's all |
|
She wrote you back she said she's sorry that you couldn't come up north |
|
And now she's majoring in post-modern sin with some guy you've never heard of before |
