Orange Country Suite

Well I used to know someone fair

She had orange ribbons in her hair

She was such a trip

She was hardly there

But I loved her

Just the same.



There was rain in our window,

The FM set was ragged

But she could talk, yeah,

We learned to speak



And one year

has gone by



Such a long long road to seek it

All we did was break and freak it

We had all

That lovers ever had

We just blew it

And I'm not sad



Well I'm mad



And I'm bad



And two years

Have gone by



Now her world was bright orange

And the fire glowed

And her friend had a baby

And she lived with us

Yeah, we broke through the window

Yeah, we knocked on the door

Her phone would not answer,

Yeah, but she's still home



Now her father has passed over

And her sister is a star

And her mother smokes diamonds

And she sleeps out in the car



Yeah, but she remembers Chicago

The musicians & guitars

And grass by the lake

And people who laugh'd

And made her poor heart ache



Now we live down in the valley

We work out on the farm

We climb up to the mountains

And everything's fine



And I'm still here

And you're still there

And we're still around
