Minnesota

You were looking at three to five when I watched you arrive

Past the garden going up my drive

You came in and we sat down, didn't say a word you didn't make a sound

I didn't love you like before, I couldn't love you any more

So I went out to let you in

When I showed up on your steps

Tryin' make amends for this beautiful mess

And get a good story I could stick to

Said I don't like rock and roll

But I don't want to stay at home

I just stopped by on my way someplace low

I said I had to go out to the store

To get something more than I had before you got here

You took a shirt that belonged to a friend

You put it on it fit like when

I locked my keys inside of my ride

You knew where the spare ones hide

So you went out to let me in

I found police waiting there

Suburban breeze blowin' through your hair

And thought of a story I could stick to

Said I don't like rock and roll

But I don't want to stay at home

I just stopped by on my way someplace low

They gave me this call so I called you

I needed something to do

To pass the time, my life's in pieces

They tell me Jesus takes my kind

Well I hope he lives in Minnesota

'Cause that's the place I gotta go

My case is up in that cold town

Now you face extradition

Just another detour on your mission

To get a good story you can stick to

Said I don't like rock and roll

But I don't want to stay at home

I stopped by on my way someplace low
