Your eyes are long Vermont roads   With a tacky song on the radio   And your eyes are toothless young men   In Tennessee in the rain again      And fireflies never go to sleep   And country songs never help you sleep      After all those trains and all those breakdown lanes   The roads don't love you and they still won't pretend to   After all those days on God-forsaken highways   The roads don't love you and they still won't pretend to      Your eyes are the Mesa Verde   Big and brown and far away   And your eyes are Kansas City   In Kansas and in Missouri      After all those trains and all those breakdown lanes   The roads don't love you and they still won't pretend to   After all those days on God-forsaken highways   The roads don't love you and they still won't pretend to      After all this time and after all your crying   The roads don't love you and they still won't pretend to   The roads are dark and long and all those country songs   Well, they don't love you and they still won't pretend to
