Before You Were Born
if I asked real sweet would you take a ride with me / we'll drive down streets that no one else has ever seen / in red bucket seats with a stereo from 1953 / I knew you before you were born / and I've seen an ending worth waiting for / under blankets of maps to keep us warm / mile markers made out of rows of white birch trees / lead me to black velvet dressed in silver rings / just like you and me some things are meant to be / I knew you before you were born / and I've seen an ending worth waiting for / under blankets of maps to keep us warm / the paper moon in the tree branch blue sky is cold and brittle on an October night / dead weather vines that grew on concrete steam lamp lights / I knew you before you were born / and I've seen an ending worth waiting for / under blankets of maps to keep us warm
