Colony Town

It's a Tuesday in October at 2
I'm running like time flies
Strumming my way through this Colony Town

The sun finally showed face, scared off the rain
I've yet to see snow fall
Never lived above the sunshine state

But there's a light
If I play my cards right
Make my rounds, I could settle down

Well I pray it don't flood here
The last hurricane done drowned the Toyota
I bought back in May-just hauled it away...

So the gear filled the rental car
Said my goodbyes
From Naples to Bristol, and on through the night
Never once cried

This frozen ground and the high lonesome sound
Save my life, show me I'm right

Well if VA's for lovers, then what about me?
I've been searching for something I haven't believed in
Since I was 23

All alone with my Washburn, with no deal in sight
I'll play all my record songs, sing tell they catch on
And daydream every night

But one day I
Will thank myself for tryin'
These sunburned eyes keep lookin up
They're all I got babe
'Cause there's a light
If I play my cards right, I'll be found

Cobblestone mountains, and old wooden halls
Cafes and holidays litter the walls
Maybe I'll post up, pick through the spring
This Norfolk and Western 433
Has been good company

That train rolls on, and the whistle will blow when I'm gone
Shakin' ground in this Colony Town
