Orange County Suite

Well I used to know someone fair

She had orange ribbons in her hair

She was such a trip, she was hardly there

But I loved her, just the same

There was rain in our window

The FM set was ragged

But she could talk, yeah

We learned to speak

And one year has gone by

Such a long, long road to seek it

All we did was break and freak it

We had all that lovers ever had

We just blew it and I'm not sad

Well, I'm mad and I'm bad

And two years have gone by

Now her world was bright orange

And the fire glowed

And her friend had a baby

And she lived with us

Yeah, we broke through the window

Yeah, we knocked on the door

Her phone would not answer

Yeah, but she's still home

Now her father has passed over

And her sister is a star

And her mother smokes diamonds

And she sleeps out in the car

Yeah, but she remembers Chicago

The musicians and guitars

And grass by the lake

And people who laughed

And made her poor heart ache

Now we live down in the valley

We work out on the farm

We climb up to the mountains

And everything's fine and I'm still here

And you're still there and we're still around
