Northbound 35
Lyrics
Northbound 35 Through the iron hills Under infidel skies It's two hundred miles to drive You won't be home ♪ I saw an elsebound train On the overpass In the driving rain Every ticket costs the same For where you can't go ♪ Mustang horses, champagne glasses Anything frail anything wild It's the price of living motion What's beautiful is broken And grace is just the measure of a fall ♪ So I rolled into your town I passed the smokestacks And the ore docks down off of Main And the sky spun around With her diamonds on fire ♪ We fought all night and then we danced In your kitchen You were as much in my hands As water or darkness or nothing Can ever be held ♪ Mustang horses, champagne glasses Anything frail anything wild It's the price of living motion What's beautiful is broken And grace is just the measure of a fall ♪ It's just flashes that we own Little snapshots Made of breath and of bone And out on the darkling plain alone They light up the sky ♪ It's 51 and driving south Ain't it funny How things'll turn out I never even kissed you on the mouth When we said goodbye ♪ Mustang horses, champagne glasses Anything frail anything wild It's the price of living motion What's beautiful is broken And grace is just the measure of a fall
