I knew a girl in Meteor City

We used to drive down on Crater Road

And I would hold her hand and she would look pretty 

Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know 

Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know 



I'd spend my days in this run down cafe

Working for a room at the top of the stairs

And she would work the counter,
man just to be around her

Was the only thing that kept me there 

Couldn't wait for the cool night air

Couldn't wait for the cool night air



I knew a girl in Meteor City 

We used to drive down on Crater Road 

And I would hold her hand and she would look pretty

Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know

Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know


And I said oh, Sofia, where'd you get a name like that 

Living in this dirt road town
She says "I think she was a movie star my father saw before I was born
But I really don't remember now, he left when I was so young
When I was so young"



I knew a girl in Meteor City 

We used to drive down on Crater Road

And I would hold her hand
and she would look pretty 

Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know 

Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know



At night the stars they all jump through the sky 

With the dreams that I miss so much 

And I hit the emptiness and the pain inside 

With a whiskey and a woman's touch 

Yeah, it's as good as love

Yeah, it's as good as love

I knew a girl in Meteor City 

We used to drive down on Crater Road 

And I would hold her hand and she would look pretty 

Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know 

Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know
