"Marco Polo II" lyrics

Playin' Marco Polo in a spring-fed pond
With some Mennonite boys from the dairy farm
One day they ran over our dog
We didn't forgive 'em but it wasn't their fault

I'm standin' on a fence
There's a dirt road runnin' through the middle of a peanut field
It looks the same on either side
Clean tight roads a perimeter to planted pines
But I can't sit in good conscience
Expect a city girl to see the beauty in the place I live
The pecan orchard's forgotten
Blame it on the vision of a Tennessee business man

I don't wanna live without you now
I know a sky full of stars is just beyond the lights of town
I don't wanna live without you now
I know a sky full of stars is just beyond the lights of town, shinin' down

Now I'm hungover in the highlands
Cryin' in the shower thinkin' 'bout my lost friends
Like that one time I had to make a guillotine
Ben threw one together for a dime bag of weed
Didn't know it was the last time I'd hear him talk
Shoulda picked up the phone and returned his call
But when the tears stopped I wanted you so bad
It's funny how grief's an aphrodisiac

I don't wanna live without you now
And when I get home baby I'm gonna take you down
I don't wanna live without you now
I know a sky full of stars is just beyond the lights of town, shinin' down
