Mary, the Interstate​.​.​.

about

Mary, the Interstate... is a little song that came to me when I was on the road & I wrote it in the car (kinda) for my daughter Mary. If I give her anything as a parent, I hope it's confidence & security. I never had either one of those things & I had a rough go of it. t is the fifth track off of my second studio album: Wildwood Road

lyrics

Mary, the interstate finally revealed my fate
I watched the sun burn red outside Virginia @ 6am
As I rode along I started to hum you this song
Something new & different than the motel dirge inside my head
It goes like this:
I love you, baby
& you're skin is white as stars
Mary, the human race is flawed & filled w hate
We can't change their minds
We can only sing the songs we write
& they go like this:
I love you, baby
As you sleep beneath the stars
Don't forget now...
I love you, baby
As you spin beneath the stars
You can only be who you are
Mary, the interstate winds & makes its way
It takes you far afield,
Where it's hard to know just what is real
When you're a long way
When you're a long way from home
when you're a long way...
Don't forget now...
I love you, baby
As you spin beneath the stars
We can only be who we are
