Girl from Frederick

I fell in love with a girl from Frederick And for almost two years she ran from me When I finally turned to walk in a new direction She said, "Maybe we can try and see" Election Day came and we drove through the countryside Then we went to church to pray It was the 2nd of November, clearly I remember Oh Maryland, you were beautiful that day I drove while she sat with her feet up on the dashboard Staring out the window at the trees She turned on the Avett Brothers And I remember thinking "I should write a song that sounds like these" And to think that it was only in September We had our hundredth conversation About the sordid complications we faced She said we weren't meant to be I swore she'd be the death of me And I think she would have been, if not for grace 'Cause I fell in love with a girl from Frederick And for almost two years she ran from me When I finally turned to walk in a new direction She said, "Maybe we can try and see" Maybe we can try and see Well, I don't want to try and see I just want to be part of you and me After such a long time I'd finally been given The chance to be the one to hold her hand But I couldn't seem to shake the road My feet needed to shuffle And I knew right then I couldn't be her man So I packed up my guitar and I got into my car And I drove to Boston for the first time I wanted to be wild, I wanted to be innocent I wanted to chase these dreams of mine But I'd fallen in love with a girl from Frederick And for almost two years she ran from me When I finally turned to walk in a new direction She said, "Maybe we can try and see" Maybe we can try and see Well, I don't want to try and see I just want to be part of you and me I don't want to try and see I just want to be part of you and me I don't want to try and see I just want to be part of you and me I don't want to try and see I just want to be part of you and me I don't want to try and see I just want to be part of you and me I don't want to try and see I just want to be part of you and me
