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
