Mary Chapin Carpenter - Other Streets, Other Towns lyrics

The whippoorwills were cryin' in the falling rain Far away a whistle hailed a pa**ing train Out in the country, summer was almost gone The fields were turning rusty and the hills were turnin' brown Now, I think of you when summer stars are on the rise I think of you with a bottle of wine and lazy eyes Playing rock and roll songs on an old guitar Gettin' drunk an' sleepin' out in my backyard Now, sometimes I just lie awake and I hear the wind Blowing through the seasons of my heart again My dreams are mostly lost and found on other streets, in other towns But babe, you know, I still look out for you The cars were all abandoned on the city streets When snow left us stranded then we used our feet And wound up drinkin' whiskey in a crowded bar And now when it starts stormin', I wonder where you are 'Cause you said that I was crazy to believe in you You said to never trust a man who sings the blues Well trust and that old guitar was all you'd ever need If you found a way to love the girl in me Now sometimes I just lie awake and I hear the wind (Hear the wind) Blowing through the seasons of my heart again (Blowing through the seasons of my heart) My dreams are mostly lost and found on other streets, in other towns But babe, you know, I still look out for you Other boys I knew were just like shiny dimes Tossed and spent, they came and went a hundred times Nothing was as tough on me as givin' up on you Now it seems like every bar in town's got boys who sing the blues Sometimes I just lie awake and I hear the wind (Hear the wind) Blowing through the seasons of my heart again (Blowing through the seasons of my heart) My dreams are mostly lost and found on other streets, in other towns But babe, you know, I still look out for you Now, sometimes I just lie awake and I hear the wind (Hear the wind) Blowing through the seasons of my heart again (Blowing through the seasons of my heart) My dreams are mostly lost and found on other streets, in other towns But babe, you know, I still look out for you
