"Detroit Or Buffalo" lyrics
"Detroit Or Buffalo"
(originally by Barbara Keith)
People expected you to fall
Hit that same old wall
Really they don't wanna help at all
They talk behind your back today
They shake their heads and they say
Well, I always knew that the boy would come to no good anyway
So I better pack up and go to Detroit or Buffalo
Anybody wanna know where
You don't know, you don't know
God knows everybody's gotta go sometime
And I'm taking this train to the end of the line
Missing every mile, that friend of mine
I haven't been too well myself
A lot of time on the shelf
Sayin' that I don't need help when I do
But I'm gonna be just fine
A lot of friends, a little wine
But really I wish I could see you again sometime
So guess I'll pack up and go to Detroit or Buffalo
Anybody wanna know where
You don't know, you don't know
God knows everybody's gotta go sometime
And I'm taking this train to the end of the line
Missing every mile, that friend of mine
It's hard to open up the door
Like you've done so many times before
And really I think you just can't do it anymore
So take a chance and take a train
Out into the pouring rain
And all you got is your suitcase full of pain
So I better pack up and go to Detroit or Buffalo
Anybody wanna know where
I don't know, no, I don't know
God knows everybody's gotta go sometime
And I'm taking this train to the end of the line
Missing every mile, that friend of mine
Missing every mile, that friend of mine

Margo Price - "Tennessee Song" Let's go back to Tennessee
You and me
Let's go back to Tennessee

The way you...
Todd Snider - "Too Soon To Tell" Low, grey clouds rollin' over my head
I'm walkin' up a hill to get my fortune read
I can still take rejection but it does get harder to do
I wish I could show you how you've hurt me in a way that...
Mary Gauthier - "Our Lady Of The Shooting Stars" Our Lady of the Shooting Stars
Was that you last night?
Did we dance a whispered waltz
Did I hold you in my sight?
When morning came with open arms
She lifted you from me
The sunlight burned my eyes...
Josh Ritter - "When Will I Be Changed" I've been told there is a power in the blood
Is it enough? Is it enough?
to carry me back from where I am to where I was?
And I hope there is some power in my blood
I've been told that all these ties...
