Marietta

I got your postcard from St. Louis

it was nice of you to send

I love the way you signed it,

Dear old friend

Hope you're thinkin' of me fondly

When you make it to LA

Remember how we joked about

Us living there someday

Don't ya go and write me a letter from

Marietta, Georgia where you don't sleep alone

I made peace with your travels,

my composure unravels

Staring at that postal code

I'm here and you're gone

And I believe that's for the better

And I'm content to be your pawn

With each sweet half-hearted gesture

But I don't need to know

the weather down in Marietta

Dear, I don't need to know

the weather down in Marietta

I expect a call from Eugene

With a case about the clouds

And an echo cross the country

When you shout my name out loud

And my, my, when you're in Telluride

I'll be waitin' on a snowy card

That mountain air, it can't keep ya long

Well, you got my sincerest regards

Don't ya go and write me a letter from

Marietta, Georgia where you don't sleep alone

I made peace with your travels,

my composure unravels

Staring at that postal code

I'm here and you're gone

And I believe that's for the better

And I'm content to be your pawn

With each sweet half-hearted gesture

But I don't need to know

the weather down in Marietta

Dear, I don't need to know

the weather down in Marietta

And now I'm thinkin' you don't like me

and that's fine, I'm happy here

I prefer New England seasons

and my vision's getting clear

Forget me and my troubles

Don't pretend you miss this face

This is the last time I'll be writin'

Please don't talk about that place

Don't ya go and write me a letter from

Marietta, Georgia where you don't sleep alone

I made peace with your travels,

my composure unravels

Staring at that postal code

I'm here and you're gone

And I believe that's for the better

I'm not content to be your pawn

With each sweet empty-hearted gesture

And I don't care to know

the weather down in Marietta

Dear, I don't care to know

the weather down in Marietta

Ooooo yea

Oh yeah
