Marfa

I went all the way to Marfa Just trying to find someone quite like you Even took the interstate Just trying to help me find my way But I got lost up in the mountains Just trying to kiss the Texas skies I got lost up in the mountains Hoping one day you'd be mine Made my way down to Terlingua Figured I'd get on my way But there's something bout a ghost town That says you really oughtta stay So I laid my head down in the desert Laid my head down on your sands And maybe it was just the ghosts there But I could've sworn I felt your hand Had to get on back to Houston Where the cars drown out my songs But I haven't quite forgotten The way you looked at me at dawn Most days you're really all I think of And when I'm tired of city lights I make my way on back to Marfa Where I can see the stars at night
