This song was written in celebration of the Anderson Fair Retail Restaurant, a music hall where Griffith started her career. She later went on to record a live album there, (One Fair Summer Evening, 1988) and featured heavily in the documentary “For The Sake of the Song: The Story of Anderson Fair”,...
I could use a little spin on a red brick floor
In that crazy 'ol bar when Tim locks the door
Where the walls are gonna ring and the strings are gonna bend
And it's a buss on the cheek from all my old lovers again
Oh. the Blue Ridge mountains at the fall of the night
It sure feels good when you cross that line
I'll tip my cup and holler at the moon
I'll say-a-Great White North ... honey here's to you sleep tight ...
I've gone crazy on this road ... with all of this travellin alone
But the asphalt is burnin' tonight ...
The New England Spring's been good to me
There's been warmth to lend and good lines to sing
But, how I miss my native tongue
'cause ... New York City sorta brings out the stupids in me
I've got one more stop down in Tennessee
My sweetheart is there just a-waitin' on me
Then it's on down the road kickin' East Texas dust
I'll catch my breath with that hot Houston neon buzzin'
I've gone crazy on this road ... with all of this travellin alone
But the asphalt is burnin' tonight ...
The New England Spring's been good to me
There's been warmth to lend and good lines to sing
But, how I miss my native tongue
'cause ... New York City sorta brings out the stupids in me
Oh, here comes a little spin on a red brick floor
It's a crazy 'ol bar and Tim's locked the door
The wall's are ringin', the strings are gonna bend
And it's a buss on the cheek from all my old lovers again
