The Shires debuted the music video for State Lines in 2015. The Shires are a Country duo composed of singer-songwriters Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes hailing from the UK. Earle sings vocals, plays piano and guitar, and Rhodes shares lead vocals. In March 2015, their debut album Brave became the first British country album ever to enter the UK top ten, and launched the success of this Country Duo. The “State Lines” music video is shot on location in Los Angeles and features couples sharing tender moments against the striking backdrop of the city’s downtown district. The clip stars veteran US actor Roy Lee Jones, who starred in the 2010 reboot of True Grit and is a huge fan of the band.

State Lines Lyrics
You always take me by surprise, like when it rains in California.
Yeah, you do.
You got a crazy sense of humour, dry as the sands in Arizona.
You know you do.
But I love everything about you,
Yeah I love all the little things.
Like when you roll your eyes like a cool new Yorker
Driving across the Mason Dixon line,
I’ve gotta smile.
Cause you’re warm like a night in a southern summer,
Sweet like a taste of California wine.
I love crossing your state lines, state lines.
State lines.
You can cry like the Mississippi, when we’re just watching a movie.
It’s kinda cute.
You sweep me away like a hurricane, over Louisiana
And I let you, yeah.
Cause I love everything about you,
Yeah I love all the little things.
Like when you roll your eyes like a cool new Yorker
Driving across the Mason Dixon line,
I’ve gotta smile.
Cause you’re warm like a night in a southern summer,
Sweet like a taste of California wine.
I love crossing your state lines, state lines.
And I’m learning everyday, a little bit more and more with every state
All the little things.
Like when you roll your eyes like a cool new Yorker
Driving across the Mason Dixon line,
I’ve gotta smile.
Cause you’re warm like a night in a southern summer,
Sweet like a taste of California wine.
I love crossing your state lines, state lines.
Your state lines.
State lines.
