Lyrics
I'm in love with Emmylou Harris
She's the beauty queen that always haunts my mind
Once upon a time I thought I might have her
But now I know she's just a state of mind
So sing me a song by Emmylou Harris
And I'll pretend that I'm in love with you
Maybe if you smile that big crazy smile
Then I will find a way to believe in you
-----------------
I used to work the badlands out in NoDak
And I'd search for Emmylou on the dial
And in my loneliness, she was right beside me
And that dusty road was just like Highway One
And I'd sing along with Emmylou Harris
And I'd pretend my life was goin' fine
And then I'd watch the sun, setting on the hilltop
And make believe my water had turned to wine
-----------------
Yes I'm in love with Emmylou Harris
But she don't even know that I'm alive
Once upon a time I thought I might hold her
But now I know she's just a state of mind
So sing me a song like Emmylou Harris
Maybe something sad like Hickory Wind
And baby when you smile that big crazy smile
I will find a way to believe in you
Baby won't you smile that big crazy smile
And I will find a way to believe in you
GUITAR
So sing me a song by Emmylou Harris
And I'll pretend that I'm a fallen angel
And baby when you smile that big crazy smile
I will find a way to believe in you
Honey won't you smile...that big crazy smile and...
I will find a way to believe in you
