Monroe

from Mercy (album) by Loose Freight

lyrics

Take this to heart
Let somebody love you
Before the colors
Tangle the east

Before the harvest
Lays you down empty
Call down your ponies
Make for the coast

Lord build me a side road
To lead me ‘round Monroe
Where my baby
Lies alone

Take me to Branford
Set me up easy
Pawn me shoeshine
A new coat and hat

Give me one try Lord
Or lay me down easy
One rib for a lady
Who can love me like that

Lord build me a side road
To lead me ‘round Monroe
Where my baby
Lies alone

By the time we reach Scarford
We’ll need a plan
A bump and a breathin’
Through the evergreen land

Through two kinds of windows
The ones where you long
And the ones your reflection
Can’t escape from

Lord build me a side road
That leads me ‘round Monroe
Where my baby
Lies alone
