Other Streets and Other Towns Mary Chapin Carpenter

[Verse 1]
The whippoorwills were crying in the falling rain
Far away a whistle hailed a passing train
Out in the country, summer was almost gone
The fields were turning rusty and the hills were turning brown
Now, I think of you when summer stars are on the rise
I think of you with a bottle of wine and lazy eyes
Playing rock and roll songs on an old guitar
Getting drunk and sleeping out in my backyard

[Chorus]
Now, sometimes I just lie awake and I hear the wind
Blowing through the seasons of my heart again
My dreams are mostly lost and found on other streets, in other towns
But babe, you know, I still look out for you

[Verse 2]
The cars were all abandoned on the city streets
When snow left us stranded then we used our feet
And wound up drinking whiskey in a crowded bar
And now when it starts storming, I wonder where you are
Because you said that I was crazy to believe in you
You said to never trust a man who sings the blues
Well trust and that old guitar was all you'd ever need
If you found a way to love the girl in me
