Pine Trees Letra

young love came to me but she came late i was thirty one she was twenty eight but we found a cabin in the woods by a lake where the pine trees meet the interstate if i have one regret, and i don't think i do but if i did, it would be that we didn't meet sooner before the strip malls came and all the roads were made straight yeah, i wish i'd seen the pine trees before they built the interstate young love came to me but she came to me disguised there was confidence in her voice and crows feet 'round her eyes but lord she was a welcome surprise to find between the pine trees and the interstate and i wish that i had known her when she was still at school still passing her exams and failing to be cool before the built that motel with a guitar shaped swimming pool yeah, i wish i'd seen the pine trees before they built the interstate i love the ring of a banjo by the brook and i love the way she sings and the way she looks i only wonder why so long it took for me to see pine trees by the interstate young love came to me but she came to me tired she said "i've been all around this country i've been drunk, stoned and wired but i've found strength in our desires between the pine trees and the interstate" oh young love came to me lord it's never too late between the pine trees and the interstate though i wish i'd seen the pine trees before they built that interstate
