Pretty Maggy may, it took me just one day
For me to loose sleep at night
The bridge to your house is 900 miles
And I’ll start building it tonight
I’ll start building the bridge tonight
You could shake, you could break it, and you could hang it on the wall
This guitar will still play a tune
Minutes seem like hours and hours seem like days
In this Northampton hotel room
I swear I’ll be in Black Mountain soon
CHORUS
Some say these long distance blues
Really ain’t that bad
If the long distance blues really ain’t that bad
It couldn’t have been the blues that I had
Because this type of blues is so sad
I’ve got apples on the table, peaches on the shelf
Come on down I’ll share them with you
Ain’t but two women in this whole wide world
That inspires me to do what I do.
Ones my mother and the other is you.
CHORUS
I swear it’s been six months since I’ve felt the sun
New England winters are too long
I think I’ll go down south and have a little fun
And play you your new song
Even thought I can’t stay long
Even thought I can’t stay long
