Mary Chapin Carpenter

Mary Chapin Carpenter (born February 21, 1958) is an American folk and country music singer, songwriter and musician. Carpenter spent several years singing in Washington, D.C. clubs before signing in the late 1980s with Columbia Records, who marketed her as a country singer. Carpenter's first album, 1987's Hometown Girl, did not produce any singles, although 1989's State of the Heart and 1990's Shooting Straight in the Dark each produced four Top 20 hits on the Billboard country singles charts. more »

Change of clothes was all I carried
There were three of us to do the driving
The sky turned black outside of Laramie 
And the rain poured down all over Wyoming 
It took two long days and four full tanks of gas 
To get to Livingston

In between the silences and the feeling grateful 
I had so much time for remembering 
Late nights around some ones table 
Something deeper about those gatherings 
More than once I've been far far away 
And thinking bout Livingston

On the way back home I would stop awhile 
Ease this truck onto the shoulder of the road 
It’s a long straight line 
That goes for miles and miles
It’s as lonely as a great plains Conoco

I came to say good bye, and to hug you 
But I wasn’t brave enough to say that
So I said see you soon and I love you 
And I think you understood me from way back 
From the very first time we ever sang our songs
Late one night in Livingston

On the way back home I would stop awhile 
Ease this truck onto the shoulder of the road 
It’s a long straight line 
That goes for miles and miles
It’s as empty as a great plains Conoco

I see you standing tall and kinda squintin
In a field outside of White Sulphur Springs
Don’t need a cowboy hat just a 33 Gibson 
And a little more time to make it rain 
As the sun turns red 
And the sky treasure gold 
On the long way back to Livingston
