Northern New Hampshire Lyrics

Cross through to northern New Hampshire

Bound up to Maine in a day

Flick off the dirt from Burlington

And make sure nobody knows your name

Your sound, respectable, low in tone

But people can see through the shame

The way your eyes will jump from brick-to-burgundy

Sets you apart from the same

Performances like this are one for the ages

Sounds like I should be detained

In local bars lauding small time musicians

Hoping nobody asks my name

Set apart by my delusions I could be

Persona non grata in days

Such a small mind to be thinking of others

As better but also the same

I swam through the thick of your skin and your lies

Feeling surprised when you said you were fine

Bringing home bottles of nine dollar wine

And looking at flings, all the unhealthy things

You were all the negatives that desperation brings

Swept up, convinced I was someone who'd have

Something that people work their whole life just to grab
