Cover art for Marfa Lights lyrics by Dirty On Purpose

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.
