Ake this to heart
Let somebody love you
Before the colors
Tangle the east
Before the harvest
Lays you down empty
Call down your ponies
Make for the coast
Lord build me a side road
To lead me 'round Monroe
Where my baby
Lies alone
Take me to Branford
Set me up easy
Pawn me shoeshine
A new coat and hat
Give me one try Lord
Or lay me down easy
One rib for a lady
Who can love me like that
Lord build me a side road
To lead me 'round Monroe
Where my baby
Lies alone
By the time we reach Scarford
We'll need a plan
A bump and a breathin'
Through the evergreen land
Through two kinds of windows
The ones where you long
And the ones your reflection
Can't escape from
Lord build me a side road
That leads me 'round Monroe
Where my baby
Lies alone
