Lyrics Marit Larsen – Shelby Avenue
Text:
When I was a little younger
All we had was Shelby avenue
Lights were dim and songs were singing
All the things I couldn’t say to you
Stolen glances, happenstance and
Home wasn’t out on that open road
Under the midnight blue
Nowhere to be, nowhere to go
But there was nothing I would rather do
Just me and you and Shelby avenue
Eyes were closed and mouths were open
Hoping that the sun would never rise
Salt on skin and something building
All those nights we damn near lost out minds
And I was yours and I was yours back when
Home wasn’t out on that open road
Under the midnight blue
Nowhere to be, nowhere to go
But there was nothing I would rather do
Just me and you and Shelby avenue
Sometimes my mind
Wanders off and I might wish
That I could be back there with you
When home wasn’t out on that open road
Under the midnight blue
Nowhere to be, nowhere to go
But there was nothing I would rather do
Just me and you and Shelby avenue
Just me and you and Shelby avenue
