lyrics

Lost my faith in this machine
I'll trade my full time job
for a can of beans & a campfire
Ten gallons of gas
A new pair of jeans
and a dog

If we play out our hand, if we ever got to fold
we'll pick a compass heading honey,
and start tearing down the road
it ain't running if there's nothing chasing you
And I know that it's hard
but we are made of this world
and to us it called
and I know you heard

| I ain't scared when the day goes down
| I want to wear that darkness like a crown
| My kingdom for the silence of the sea--
| pursued the sun, somehow it got behind me

Farewell North Atlantic coast,
Maine & Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York,
I forgive you.
And when I'm out there, on the side of the road,
sitting in the sand with a tire blown
I will miss you...

| I ain't scared when the sun comes up
| I will bear every dawn like a cup
| to catch the dew dripping off the grass
| I will drink it up, I'll drink it up. At last.
