lyrics

Once I knew a girl in a higher country time
When the air was thin and sweet, she left a light on and she wrote
She left me in the clothes that she hung up on the notes
Of a higher country time that smelled of wine
And market food and packs of smokes

But you'll never see me anymore
Singing for you like I sang before
Now you're nothing more than a fancy light
On the skyline of my life in country time

I cut my teeth upon the Southside streets where I was born
But I'm living in a big old house down by the river now
And I'm turning in all the clocks and I'm turning out the lights
Of a higher country time that smelled of salt
And sweet so-longs on that Carolina coast

Go on babe, light me up
If the shivers that you found just ain't enough
If you find an honest man don't let him take you home
I hope you find an honest man
