lyrics

I was sittin' alone and sober
just tryin' to figure out
How I got where I am
and you got where you are
we made it this far without
having to answer the questions
we kick along as we walk
without speaking the unspoken words
that silent way that we talk

I was looking around at the scenery
Kinda want to throw it all away
Start with an empty room
just me and you
figure out what's really at stake
We live so far away from the ocean
this city is noisy and cold
we've go baby's to name
and if it's all the same
I would really like to raise her on the road
I would really like to raise her on the road

But if anything ever happened
Like, if something really went down
I would want to be lyin' next to you
on a blanket on the ground
with the creatures all around us
at our heads and at our feet
listen to the rain fall down
the wind talkin' through the trees...

Do you remember that time in Texas
we stopped to rest for the night
the highway and everything just rolled right by
nothing but stars in sight.
I told you I would come back for you
I bet you thought I forgot
You found me under the ferris wheel
at our secret meeting spot
We live so far away from the ocean
the city is noisy and cold
we've got baby's to name
and if it's all the same
I would really like to raise her on the road...

But if anything ever happened
I mean, like, if something really went down
I would want to be lyin' next to you
on a blanket on the ground
with the creatures all around us
at our heads and at our feet
listen to the rain fall down
the wind talkin' through the trees
the wind talkin' through the trees...
