Marfa Lights Lyrics
Doesn't matter started lonely
When you've seen the lights you'll know
Stood back now but lost directions
Might as well stay on the road
(You've gone too far)
And we drove, all night, with the heater on
It was cold, but the sky, was clear
And we drove, all night, till moon the was gone
It was cold, but the end, was near
Marfa lights stay more in focus now
Everything else speak shades of brown
Stood back now and lost correction
Might as well stay on the road
(You've gone too far)
(You've gone too far)
(You've gone too far)

I submitted these, I saw no other submissions online... after listening to the song more and more I feel the first line is in error. I believe "early" should be "lonely." I'm also unsure of the "Everything else speaks shades of brown" line. It seemed fitting due to the cold weather.
What does the song mean? It seems like a simple little story to me. If you've ever traveled in that part of Texas, it is a rather lonely stretch of America. You aren't going there, just passing through to your next destination. Plenty of time on your hands to write a song.
The Marfa Lights are real and can be found in Marfa, Texas. A poor mans Aurora Borealis.
