about

Seymour rides in his Grandpa's car in North Dakota.

lyrics

Long straight lines through the fields in North Dakota
Drawn out with miles of telephone wires
All along the highways and the county roads
Blackbirds in a row
They watch as the cars go by

An old man in a new car is sitting at the crossroad
Eats the sour plums that he picked outside a church
His grandson is arriving on a Greyhound bus
Blackbirds in the dirt
They wait as he drops the pits

It's more than time that makes an hour
It's more than space that separates the towns here
Traveling in the flatlands
Dreaming in the silence
Of long straight lines
