Kris Delmhorst - 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
