milltowns - mark erelli lyrics

[verse 1]
you were a legend when i met you
introduced by a mutual friend
i laughed when you called me “grasshopper”
though i didn’t know what it meant

[verse 2]
we stayed up all night drinking
yeah, most of it is still a blur
but i remember picking along while you sang every song
by mississippi john hurt

[verse 3]
and the way you got so serious
when you told me you invented the blues
and then you smiled in that way i could never tell
if you didn’t really think it was true

[chorus]
now i’m driving through these milltowns
down empty moonlit streets
wherе the vacant storefront windows
look like missing t**th
thеy disappear into my rearview
all along the rural route
and i pray for all that can’t be rescued
after everything goes south
[verse 4]
well, on a split bill up in portland
i was getting ready to go on
you said, “grasshopper, you sing ‘birches’
i’ve been singing it for too long”

[verse 5]
so i sang it like i’d written it
though i wished you hadn’t asked
’cause i couldn’t shake that feeling
like something was being passed

[verse 6]
and you watched from behind the curtain
and i never will forget
how your pulling on that bourbon
looks like russian roulette

[chorus]
now i’m driving through these milltowns
down empty moonlit streets
where the vacant storefront windows
look like missing t**th
they disappear into my rearview
all along the rural route
and i pray for all that can’t be rescued
after everything goes south
[instrumental break]

[chorus]
so i’m driving through these milltowns
down empty moonlit streets
where the vacant storefront windows
look like missing t**th
they disappear into my rearview
all along the rural route
and i pray for all that can’t be rescued
after everything goes south

[outro]
oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh
