St. Paul

[00:10.37] I hit the city, oh, when I was only seventeen
[00:14.66] In a beat-up Wrangler with a console full of burnt CDs
[00:18.96] Blew out my speakers with the same three Wilco tracks
[00:22.51] Half a tank to get there, and half to get me back
[00:26.94] Ah-ooh, ah-ooh
[00:30.12] Ah-ooh, ah-ooh
[00:34.77] I cut my teeth playing sad folk songs on a cheap guitar
[00:39.22] For all the counter drunks over at the Turf Club bar
[00:43.35] X's on my hands, but I'd sneak a little booze
[00:46.98] From a ponytail bartender with not a lot to lose
[00:51.03] Ah-ooh, ah-ooh
[00:55.49] St. Paul, all those nights you made me love you
[01:03.55] St. Paul, all the trouble we got into
[01:10.66] I might run a million miles through a million cities
[01:15.31] But there'll never be another one that's ever gonna get me
[01:19.39] Like St. Paul
[01:28.47]
[01:36.57] I cried a little as I watched the frozen Mississippi
[01:41.09] Fade in my rearview as I made my way to Music City
[01:45.11] Thought I might've lost you a couple U-Haul trips ago
[01:48.70] Then I open up my mouth and hear the Minnesota wind blow
[01:52.82] Ah-ooh, ah-ooh
[01:57.09] St. Paul, all those nights you made me love you
[02:05.36] St. Paul, all the trouble we got into
[02:12.02] I might run a million miles through a million cities
[02:16.63] But there'll never be another one that's ever gonna get me
[02:20.86] Like St. Paul
[02:29.55]
[02:48.20] I ain't gonna lie, sometimes it hurts
[02:52.21] You'll always be my first
[02:56.54] St. Paul, all those nights you made me love you
[03:04.50] St. Paul, all the trouble we got into
[03:11.54] I might run a million miles through a million cities
[03:16.12] But there'll never be another one that's ever gonna get me
[03:20.47] Like St. Paul
[03:30.51] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[03:38.53] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[03:45.82]
