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
