Long Vermont Roads Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

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
