Other Street and Other Towns

Lyrics

The whippoorwills were cryin' in the falling rain
 Far away a whistle hailed a passing 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
