lyrics

When cocaine turned to rain, I was there
You explained everything while you combed your hair
Should I shut up, or should I speak up?
You put on your makeup and didn’t care about arriving on time
We’ll be late, and they’ll be fine

So, get your coat dear while it rains
I’ve got a plan that sounds insane
I sunk our savings in a covered wagon
Shake the dust off our feet, let’s find a new land

Ride, we can make it if we try
Let’s ride, I don’t want to stay here the rest of my life
I want to die, I want to die breathing the air of Oregon (x2)

When we came to the hall there was no line
The music played and there was love for valentines
And some were high and some were gross, I held you close, I held you close
And some were drunk and some verbose, I held you close, I held you close
It’s okay to take our time
We’ll be late, and they’ll be fine

So, ford the river, take the pass
The rapids between us will soon be passed
We’ll do what we can to survive the cold
We’ll say our prayers and shoot buffalo

[Chorus]

And when I lay on the floor of my life
Give all my praise and regrets behind the skies
And smile back upon my youth, that I found you, that I found you
And smile back upon the youth, to know the truth, to know the truth
And smile back upon my youth, that I found you, that I found you
And smile back upon the youth, to know the truth, to know the truth

To be sand and stars to shine,
We’ll be late and they’ll be fine
