lyrics

We've come a long way since Wilmore
And every other thing we've done
Become so much more than
The banker's daughter and the preacher's son

And it's a long day at the sugar mill
When I'm rising before the dawn
We're gathering it all up
And soon we'll be gone

And the scriptures we knew so well
We traded for the open road
And the hissing of the summer lawns
The promise of our new home

Crossing the muddy wide Missouri
In our yellow Japanese car
Yuri's panting in the backseat
How did we ever get this far

In the mountains of Colorado
In the record-breaking heat
Yuri's song plays on the radio
Willie's singing us to sleep

And the scriptures we knew so well
We traded for the open road
And the hissing of the summer lawns
The promise of our new home

They need more men on the oil field
And I'm hoping I'll fit the bill
So we can get out of this tent and settle down
Cause I'm worried we never will

And we're headed back down seventy-five
Wondering what was all of this for
And as the sun sets on the Gulf coast
Could we have asked for more

And the trees are getting more familiar
But it won't be in defeat
Cause along the way we realized
We are all that we need

And the scriptures we knew so well
We traded for the open road
And the hissing of the summer lawns
The promise of our new home
Of our new home
