If you were here in Starkville Towny boys would love the way you stare If you were here in starkville Well the local girls they wouldn't have a prayer Well I've spent a reckless night inside the wonder Of your everlasting charm Now I'm haunted by geography and the flora And the fauna of your heart At the dawning of some road worn day I call you on a whim just to say The morning birds are singing But I could not do them justice So I hung up and I fell back to sleep But I'm in love with my mobility Oh sometimes this life can be a drag Like when I notice your nobility And how my leaving It only held you back But I remember one occassion When you were drinking And you asked me to the coast But I was hell bent on agony back then And so I missed the boat At the dawning of some road worn day I call you on a whim just to say My regrets become distractions And I cannot do them justice And I hung up and I fell back to sleep When I was down in Starkville I was hiding out inside some Comfort Inn From a local gang of troubadours When the homecoming queen She come ridin in (Oooh) Yeah but I slipped out of my room into the rain (Oooh) And I went running for my health (Oooh) I watched those headlights turn to moonlight And finally I was running by myself Now its the dawning of some road worn day And I call you on a whim just to say The morning birds are singing
