Chelseaville (a song for Stacey courtesy of Jacob Moon)

Jacob Moon has a funny story about how he wrote this song that I won't share here. He does this song really great live; I found the version on the album to be too honkey-tonk for me (although it isn't honkey-tonk, it's just a lot more countrified than live version). Anyway, this one's for you, Gordita:

Way back, back in the day
You used to wear your blond hair long
We'd sit out on the front porch swing
Laughin' at the world
Never want to be like that
So all this time the city lights were in your eyes

Oooooh, don't go
Stay here in Chelseaville
Ooooooh, don't go
Stay here in Chelseaville
Stay here if you love me

Freeways and traffic jams
What you want with all that noise?
Just to come home to some one-room dive
Which is all you can afford
If you want to live downtown
Why, baby, why
When you know that I can't follow?

Ooooh, don't go
Stay here in Chelseaville
Oooooh, don't go
Stay here in Chelseaville
Stay here if you love me

Sleep out on the lawn
Underneath the prairie sky
If the wind blows and brings us change
Will we be strangers?

  • I can't believe it's been 4 1/2 years since my wedding either! So crazy!
    How are you and Jason doing? You should come visit sometime, that would be great!

  • We'd love to come visit! Especially now that we know a few more people out West. Don't know when it will happen, but we'd love to. You can always come see us, too, you know! We'll take you to Niagara Falls and all that touristy rubbish. :)
