Austin Lucas Nevada County Line
[Verse 1]
I'd go to you over uneven roads
'Cross worn-out asphalt and earth
And I'd go to you but I haven't the heart
Oh to steal you from the arms of another
[Chorus 1]
More than mere highways rest between you and I
And that lonesome Nevada county line
[Verse 2]
When you came to me 'cross the last ocean blue
Flying east from your father and mother
You came to me in a small dusty room
With the weight of your decision sinking in
[Chorus 2]
More than mere highways would link you and I
To that lonesome Nevada county line
[Verse 3]
So there we stood, with our city and its fires
And the warmth where our bodies met in the middle
Yes, we were there where they rise and greet the sky
Unaware of the storm on the horizon
[Chorus 3]
More than mere highways were filling up your eyes
With that lonesome Nevada county line
[Verse 4]
When you went away that old fever took 'hold of me
Lord, I laid where I could for a time
You went from me 'fore I'd squandered all your love
By my own hand it was buried in the dirt
[Chorus 4]
On the side of the highway you left me bye-and-bye
For that lonesome Nevada county line
