Starkville Lyrics

If you were here in Starkville
Towny boys would love the way you stare
If you were here in starkville
Well the local girls they wouldn't have a prayerWell I've spent a reckless night inside the wonder
Of your everlasting charm
Now I'm haunted by geography and the flora
And the fauna of your heartAt the dawning of some road worn day
I call you on a whim just to say
The morning birds are singing
But I could not do them justice
So I hung up and I fell back to sleep
But I'm in love with my mobility
Oh sometimes this life can be a drag
Like when I notice your nobility
And how my leaving
It only held you backBut I remember one occassion
When you were drinking
And you asked me to the coast
But I was hell bent on agony back then
And so I missed the boatAt the dawning of some road worn day
I call you on a whim just to say
My regrets become distractions
And I cannot do them justice
And I hung up and I fell back to sleep
When I was down in Starkville
I was hiding out inside some Comfort Inn
From a local gang of troubadours
When the homecoming queen
She come ridin in
(oooh)Yeah but I slipped out of my room into the rain
(oooh)
And I went running for my health
(oooh)
I watched those headlights turn to moonlight
And finally I was running by myselfNow its the dawning of some road worn day
And I call you on a whim just to say
The morning birds are singing
