Blue Ridge Days

(Steven LaFollette)

I wrote this in my apartment in Minneapolis, one evening when I realized life didn't have me where I'd expected it would. I still thought "where" and "what" defined who I was, so I was left a little lost and wishing myself toward an idealized future where all uncertainty was behind me. The "place" of this could be subbed for wherever you were when you likely had the same feeling.

Verse
Tennessee you rained so hard I’d swear you didn’t know me
Now and then I catch your glance across the room
Behind me, overshadowed by a stronger, better man
I’m Midwest bound, my Blue Ridge days behind

Chorus
Said it’s been a long day
And I know I’m gonna miss this someday
But the Mississippi’s full of wrath for a city boy on a river raft
Love let me be

Verse
February made the 5th of May a romance
Sorting through the mail and spare change in the pond
Lyndale sounds like something I’ll remember when I’m old
Those songs I hope you’ll sing when I am gone

Chorus
Said it’s been a long day
It seems Love’s a pretty girl on the subway
But she walks so fast on the overpass and she’s never going my way
Love let me be

Chorus 2
Said it’s been a long day
It seems love’s a fleeting thought on the interstate
Like a crash in a dream stuck repeating a scene
it will surely drive you mad
Love let me be
Love let me be
