Starkville

Am F (2x) Am If you were here in starkville F Am Towny boys would love the way you stare Am If you were here in starkville F Am Well the local girls they wouldn't have a prayer Am F Well I've spent a reckless night inside the wonder Am of your everlasting charm Am F Now I'm haunted by geography and the flora Am And the fauna of your heart F G At the dawning of some road worn day F G I call you on a whim just to say Am The morning birds are singing F C But I could not do them justice G Am 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 back But 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 boat At 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 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 myself Now its the dawning of some road worn day And I call you on a whim just to say
