I like a girl who lives in Maine
Gabrielle is her first name
She doesn't settle down that much
I guess for me that's just a shame
She walks the Earth from town to town
Writes in a storybook laid down
To bed beside her for the night
She gets up for the morning light
Her eyes are bright blue or bright green
Admittedly I've trouble seeing
Too clear through pixelated phones
Either way my god do they sheen
I wish that I could see her there
Back table coffee shop so near
That night in Boulder at my show
The feelings that she'll never know
Ooo
She's racing through her Irene Avenue
Ooo
A road traveled by one but meant for two
I have no right to feel this way
She only knew me for a day
Holding to my luck fast astern
Some things I'm never meant to learn
Where she runs
I'd follow if she'd let me
But I'm too scared she'd forget me
Cause she's a free spirit
That I could never hold too close
I yearn for things I must let go
Ooo
She's racing through her Irene Avenue
Ooo
A road traveled by one but meant for two
If I could talk to her right now I'd say
I remember asking you
Which of my songs was your favorite tune
My only regret is that this one may not make it to you
If stars and satellites were vessels I'd sail right through the moon
And land in your melodic view
I promise that I'll always have
Her smile in my mental bag
Full of the wonders that I hold
The dearest to my heart and soul
One day maybe we'll meet again
I think as I write with my pen
About the way she makes me smile
Wish she could be here for awhile
Ooo
She's racing through her Irene Avenue
Ooo
A road traveled by one but meant for two
Irene
Irene
Irene Avenue
Irene
Irene
Irene Avenue
Irene
Irene
Irene Avenue
A road traveled by one but meant for two
