texas

Let us go then;

Because I've been thinking we should leave this town
we'll steal a car, and drive on down
to a place where the rivers all run green.

Perhaps we could even drive to Texas,
Lovesongs sound sweeter there.

Let us go then;
Let's catch a train to the Amazon basin,
then hop a bus to New Orleans;
we'll take a walk down to the corner and
walk down through the quarter,
to the river; where the water will wash us clean.

Yes I know it's not that easy,
that something holds you here
so hold me for tonight,
because I'll be gone before you know.

But I'll think of you while I'm lying cool in the shade
and I'll wonder what you're doing,
and what made you stay.
