The boys from North Dakota
They drink whisky for their fun
And the cowboys down in Texas
They polish up their guns
And they look across the border
To learn the ways of love
If you love me, say I love you
If you love me, say I do
If you love me, say I love you
If you love me, say I do
And you can say I love you
And you can say I do
So I drank myself some whisky
And I dreamed I was a cowboy
And I rode across the border
If you love me, say I love you
If you love me, take my hand
If you love me, say I love you
If you love me, take my hand
And you can say I love you
And you can have my hand
I remember in the mornings
Waking up
With your arms around my head
You told me you can sleep forever
And I'll still hold you then
Now the weather's getting colder
It's even cold down here
And the words that you have told me
Hang frozen in the air
And sometimes I look right through them
As if they were not there
And the boys from North Dakota
They drink whisky for their fun
And the cowboys down in Texas
They polish up their guns
And they look across the border
To learn the ways of love

Been snowin all day when I got home
The fire was out the cabin was cold
And I poured some stale coffee from the pot
The longer I waited the snow got higher
So I split some wood and built a fire
If she told me she’d be gone I forgot
I’d seen it snow that hard before
I couldn’t see the cabin from the stable door
And that mare she always rode was in the stall
The law couldn’t come till the weather broke
My heart was poundin in my throat
And I searched and called her name till it was raw
I never should have brought her here
Livin’s rough this time of year
Tryin to keep food and fire till winters done
Sometimes she gazed across the plains
With a look that I couldn’t name
And I’d wonder if she stay till springtime comes
I found her on the first warm day
The rain had washed the snow away
Went for wood and lost her way back home
And I ain’t the kind believes in ghosts
But some nights I get pretty close
When the North Dakota winter moans

I love North Dakota
'Cause you have never been there
And the days go on forever
And the towns all look the same
And I can ride the back roads
And I can walk the main streets
And show someone your picture
But they would not know your name
This city is so gloomy
I could stay in bed for hours
Maybe that's why I'm still lying here
Asking you for more
'Cause this never would've happened
If you hadn't touched my elbow
In that steamy crowded car
Heading down the western shore
And you take me to pieces
Your eye sees my favorite me
And I don't know your word for it
But you know what I mean
'Cause there's nothing I like better
Than to watch you flirting with the waitress
And that's the most inspiring thing
That I have ever seen
And there's times that you fight it
It's just the way I like it
And I wonder what I'm choosing
I wonder what I'm losing
'Cause at four o'clock this morning
You told me the story
Of a friend who couldn't stomach
All the love that came from you
And oh the straight up
Deep hurt of you
And I don't think that I can handle
Anything that true
And that's why I am leaving
And that's why I won't call you
I am getting in the taxi
Headed for the plane
But I still can feel you breathing
Still can hear your fingers play
Still can see you
Standing in the window pane
And I'm watching your goodbye
And I'm trying to cry
Guess I'm not built for this load
Guess it's back to the road
So now Delaware is tollbooths
Virginia is twilight
And Michigan's beef jerky
In a small boy's hand
And Arkansas' a skinny cop
Oregon is purple hands
And Flagstaff Arizona
Is delirium at night
And I love North Dakota
'Cause you have never been there
And the days go on for hours
And the buffalo rowing
And I can ride the back roads
I can walk the main streets
And no I never ask me
When I'm coming home
And I love North Dakota
'Cause you have never been there
And the days go on forever
And the towns all look the same
And I can ride the back roads
I can walk the main streets
I could show everyone your picture
But they would not know your name
I love, I love, I love
I love, I love, I love
North Dakota

[Verse 1:]
When I see your eyes.
They show me everything.
I ever needed to know.
The only place I need to go.
And when we are together.
My whole world disappears.
Along with all our fears.
We are invincible.
[Chorus:]
Maybe we should get away.
be ourselves, just the two of us.
In your car, we'll drive til the road runs out.
We can run forever.
[Verse 2:]
Hey and when we get there.
We can find a cheap hotel.
Where we can hide from the world.
We can pretend that we're all alone.
And no one else exists.
the streets are ours tonight
are ours tonight
and no ones here to tell us
what to do or tell us what we're not
[Chorus:]
Maybe we should get away.
be ourselves, just the two of us.
In your car we'll drive til the road runs out.
We can run forever.
Maybe we should get away.
be ourselves, just the two of us.
In your car we'll drive til the road runs out.
We can run forever.
[Bridge:]
And we can be.
Who we want to be.
So everyone can see.
Exactly what we mean.
[Chorus:]
Maybe we should get away.
be ourselves, just the two of us.
In your car we'll drive til the road runs out.
We can run forever.
Maybe we should get away.
be ourselves, just the two of us.
In your car we'll drive til the road runs out.

The state of North Dakota has to fill its quotaAnd
separate the girls from the boys
Keep the trouble out of Illinois
The state of these affairs always comes in pairs
In the months of their demise we were writing our reprise
If it makes you said
It makes me sadder
If you ever miss me
I will always miss you more
In North Dakota we can only waste our time
I marked it on the atlas and taped it to my mattress
He hates me and I hate him too because he keeps me from
seeing you
She's the only player with the icy stare
A look like that only makes me look older
You put your head on the coldest shoulder
If it makes you said
It makes me sadder
If you ever miss me
I will always miss you more
