Other Street And Other Towns Lyrics - Hometown Girl/state Of The Heart - Mary Chapin Carpenter

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
