(Mary Chapin Carpenter)
|
Fields of green by the side of the road
|
Going down in Mary's land
|
Roll down the window feel the cool of a grove
|
Hit the palm of your outstretched hand
|
Radio's playing a tune from the country
|
Fiddle and an old time band
|
Race with the moon to the edge of the water
|
Down in Mary's land
|
Down in Mary's land
|
|
East of Virginia where the bay meets a river
|
Down in Mary's land
|
The wind pulls your sleeve like a long lost lover
|
Whose heart can't understand
|
How you ever could leave
|
The view you behold
|
Ain't it fine and ain't life grand
|
When you don't need nothing
|
But some beer and a bushel
|
Down in Mary's land
|
|
Gonna sleep with the stars
|
And a slice of the moon
|
Hanging right above my bed
|
Gonna dream not of things
|
That I've left behind
|
But those I've found instead
|
Down in Mary's land
|
|
Radio's playing a tune from the country
|
Fiddle and an old time band
|
Race with the moon to the edge of the water
|
Down in Mary's land
|
|
Gonna sleep with the stars
|
And a slice of the moon
|
Hanging right above my bed
|
Gonna dream not of things
|
That I've left behind
|
But those I've found instead
|
Down in Mary's land
