Buffalo girl, in the cold and wind
Wondering when summer gonna come again
Walking alone on the Oneida River
Chasing down a butterfly, but only catching it one in ten times
I'm about the same, down in Ohio
Tomorrow just another loose seed to sow,
Sun come up, and go down honey
Get another chance around
To fill the sky up with our blue and hope it never come down
And they say Colorado, was just like god was holding on
To find somewhere she could paint her dreams upon
Barcelona, is where you go to fall in love,
Where they still dance every Saturday til dawn
Playing guitar while they tango and twirl
Go break your heart on the edge of the world
Buffalo girl
You knew all along, you didn't hold back
Ain't the heart a mighty thing to knock off the track
But harder than that, is to let it die, pent up, and deprived
Ain't it a wonder just to wake up and still be alive
And they say Colorado, was just like god was holding on
To find somewhere she could paint her dreams upon
Barcelona, is where you go to fall in love,
Where they still dance every Saturday til dawn
Playing guitar while they tango and twirl
Go break your heart on the edge of the world
Buffalo girl
Bless this love, but damn this curse
It's the fear of living life in reverse
Sometimes baby I wish I was the one
Who could sit around waiting on nothing
But the sun
But that ain't me, and it ain't you too
We both got too much living to do
Don't look back, you know where you're going
Even when you think you don't
You got your compass in your core baby
You know what for baby
Find your due north and be on your way tonight
You got your compass in your core baby
You know what for baby
Find your due north and be just like those butterflies
