Joe Purdy - Meteor City lyrics

rate me

I knew a girl in Meteor City

We used to drive down on Crater Road

And I would hold her hand and she would look pretty 


Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know 


Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know 



I'd spend my days in this run down cafe

Working for a room at the top of the stairs

And she would work the counter,

man just to be around her


Was the only thing that kept me there 


Couldn't wait for the cool night air


Couldn't wait for the cool night air



I knew a girl in Meteor City 


We used to drive down on Crater Road 


And I would hold her hand and she would look pretty

Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know

Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know

And I said oh, Sofia, where'd you get a name like that 


Living in this dirt old town

She says "I think she was a movie star my father knew before I was born

But I really don't remember now, he left when I was so young

When I was so young"



I knew a girl in Meteor City 


We used to drive down on Crater Road

And I would hold her hand

and she would look pretty 


Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know 


Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know

At night the stars they all jump through the sky 


With the dreams that I miss so much 


And I hate the emptiness and the pain inside 


A little whiskey and a woman's touch 


Yeah, it's as good as love


Yeah, it's as good as love

I knew a girl in Meteor City 


We used to drive down on Crater Road 


And I would hold her hand and she would look pretty 


Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know 


Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know
