Married in the
weeds and dust
Stole some tires
and fixed the clutch
That old truck was ready
for the road
They flipped a coin
at the interstate
Had a dream
that wouldn't wait
God only knew
how far they'd go
Cheat the cards in Reno
Hide out in Sante Fe
Make a run to Mexico
Strike goId in L.A.
On their way to a better life
They came up five miles
shy of paradise
They made the most
and not enough
They did anyThin' for love
They never saw
the great divide
The old truck
gave up and died
They lived in that
pay by day motel
He took a job drivin'
long haul trips
She danced all night for tips
They kept their hopes
in a wishin' well
A white picket fence
A yard full of kids
A little extra money
For the things they never did
On their way to a better life
They came up five miles
shy of paradise
They made the most
and not enough
They did anyThin' for love
Cheat the cards in Reno
Hide out in Sante Fe
Make a run to Mexico
Strike goId in L.A.
On their way to a better life
They came up five miles
shy of paradise
They made the most
and not enough
They did anyThin' for love
On their way to a better life
They came up five miles
shy of paradise
They made the most
and not enough
They did anyThin' for love
