Joe Purdy Live!

I knew a girl in Meteor City
We used to drive down on Crater Road
And I would hold her hand, she would look pretty
Didn't worry about the things we just didn't know
Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know

I spent 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
It 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, she would look pretty
Didn't worry about the things we just didn't know
Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know

I said, "Oh Sofia, where'd you get a name like that
Living in this dirt-poor town?"
She said, "I think she was a movie star my father saw 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, she would look pretty
Didn't worry about the things 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
Like the dreams that I miss so much
And I hid the emptiness and the pain inside
With a whiskey and a woman's touch
Yeah that's as good as numb
Yeah it's as good as numb

I knew a girl in Meteor City
We used to drive down on Crater Road
And I would hold her hand, she would look pretty
Didn't worry about the things we just didn't know
Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know
