Starkville

If you were here in Starkville
 Towny boys would love the way you stare
 If you were here in starkville
 Well the local girls they wouldn't have a prayer
 Well I've spent a reckless night inside the wonder
 Of your everlasting charm
 Now I'm haunted by geography and the flora
 And the fauna of your heart
 At the dawning of some road worn day
 I call you on a whim just to say
 The morning birds are singing
 But I could not do them justice
 So I hung up and I fell back to sleep
 But I'm in love with my mobility
 Oh sometimes this life can be a drag
 Like when I notice your nobility
 And how my leaving
 It only held you back
 But I remember one occassion
 When you were drinking
 And you asked me to the coast
 But I was hell bent on agony back then
 And so I missed the boat
 At the dawning of some road worn day
 I call you on a whim just to say
 My regrets become distractions
 And I cannot do them justice
 And I hung up and I fell back to sleep
 When I was down in Starkville
 I was hiding out inside some Comfort Inn
 From a local gang of troubadours
 When the homecoming queen
 She come ridin in
 (Oooh)
 Yeah but I slipped out of my room into the rain
 (Oooh)
 And I went running for my health
 (Oooh)
 I watched those headlights turn to moonlight
 And finally I was running by myself
 Now its the dawning of some road worn day
 And I call you on a whim just to say
 The morning birds are singing
