Old 97s - Bloomington lyrics

She drove a blue car around Bloomington

She was a thin girl but she had substance

She said that most girls who come to Bloomington

Only come here to find husbands

And the existence of God was confirmed

By the way she unfolded herself alongside

And I tried to harden my heart

But she wouldn't let me she wouldn't let me

Bloomington Bloomington

When the rest of the world is over and done

You'll still be the only one I'll ever love Bloomington

In a park that doubled as a parking lot

There was music it was free

The girl in pink took a sip of my drink

And laid down next to me

The way she unfolded herself

Was an earthquake a hurricane tidal wave flood

This is love baby this is love

The moment she let me the moment she let me
