if you were here in starkville townie 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 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 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 occasion 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 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 queenshe come ridin in yeah but i slipped out of my room into the rain and i went running for my health i watched those headlights turn to moonlight and finally i was running by myself  now it s the dawning of some road worn day and i call you on a whim just to say the morning birds are singing
