Taken from the "Jubilee: Live at Wolf Trap" performance and found on the album "Come On, Come On".

Mary Chapin Carpenter was born Feb. 21, 1958, in Princeton, N.J. Her father was an executive for Life magazine, and she spent part of her early life living in Japan. She grew up with a love of contemporary pop hits, although her mother's Woody Guthrie and Judy Collins records gave her some interest in country/folk music. She spent her time at home with her guitar, and her father encouraged her to perform at talent nights.

Enrolling in Brown University, Carpenter earned a degree in American civilization. Between college years she would play local bars and clubs in the Washington, DC area. By 1986, she was a local star, winning five Washington Area Music Awards. She released her 1987 debut "Hometown Girl", produced by guitarist/producer John Jennings.

She returns to Washington almost every summer to perform at the popular outdoor venue Wolftrap.

Come on Come on lyrics:

Some people remember the first time

Some can't forget the last

Some just select what they want to from the past

It's a song that you danced to in high school

It's a moon you tried to bring down

On a four-in-the-morning drive through the streets of town

Come on come on, it's getting late now

Come on come on, take my hand

Come on come on, you just have to whisper

Come on come on, I will understand

It's a photograph taken in Paris, at the end of the honeymoon

In 1948, late in the month of June

Your parents smile for the camera in sienna shades of light

Now you're older than they were then that summer night

Come on come on, it's getting late now

Come on come on, take my hand

Come on come on, you just have to whisper

Come on come on, I will understand

It's a need you never get used to, so fierce and so confused

It's a loss you never get over the first time you lose

And tonight I am thinking of someone, seventeen years ago

We rode in his daddy's car down the river road

Come on come on, it's getting late now

Come on come on, take my hand

Come on come on, you just have to whisper

Come on come on, I will understand

Come on come on, it's getting late now

Come on come on, take my hand

Come on come on, you just have to whisper

Come on come on, I will understand

Come on come on
