Long Vermont Roads

Your eyes are long Vermont roads
 With a tacky song on the radio
 And your eyes are toothless young men
 In Tennessee in the rain again
 And fireflies never go to sleep
 And country songs never help you sleep
 After all those trains and all those breakdown lanes
 The roads don't love you and they still won't pretend to
 After all those days on God-forsaken highways
 The roads don't love you and they still won't pretend to
 Your eyes are the Mesa Verde
 Big and brown and far away
 And your eyes are Kansas City
 In Kansas and in Missouri
 After all those trains and all those breakdown lanes
 The roads don't love you and they still won't pretend to
 After all those days on God-forsaken highways
 The roads don't love you and they still won't pretend to
 After all this time and after all your crying
 The roads don't love you and they still won't pretend to
 The roads are dark and long and all those country songs
 Well, they don't love you and they still won't pretend to
