Meteor City - Joe Purdy

I knew a girl in Meteor City

We used to drive down on Crater Road

And I would hold her hand and she would look pretty

Didn’t worry about the things that we just didn’t know

Didn’t worry about the things that we just didn’t know

I’d spend my days in this run down cafe

Working for a room at the top of the stairs

And she would work the counter,

man just to be around her

Was the only thing that kept me there

Couldn’t wait for the cool night air

Couldn’t wait for the cool night air

I knew a girl in Meteor City

We used to drive down on Crater Road

And I would hold her hand and she would look pretty

Didn’t worry about the things that we just didn’t know

Didn’t worry about the things that we just didn’t know

And I said oh, Sofia, where’d you get a name like that

Living in this dirt road town

She says «I think she was a movie star my father saw before I was born

But I really don’t remember now, he left when I was so young

When I was so young»

I knew a girl in Meteor City

We used to drive down on Crater Road

And I would hold her hand

and she would look pretty

Didn’t worry about the things that we just didn’t know

Didn’t worry about the things that we just didn’t know

At night the stars they all jump through the sky

With the dreams that I miss so much

And I hit the emptiness and the pain inside

With a whiskey and a woman’s touch

Yeah, it’s as good as love

Yeah, it’s as good as love

I knew a girl in Meteor City

We used to drive down on Crater Road

And I would hold her hand and she would look pretty

Didn’t worry about the things that we just didn’t know

Didn’t worry about the things that we just didn’t know
