Other Streets, Other Towns Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

The whippoorwills were crying 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 turning 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 

Getting drunk and sleeping 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 had left us stranded then we used our feet 

And wound up drinking whiskey in a crowded bar 

And now when it starts storming 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 

Other boys I knew were just like shiny dimes 

Tossed and spent, they came and went a hundred times 

Nothing was as rough on me as giving up on you 

Now it seems like every bar in town's got boys who sing the blues
