We drove through the desert
Just to make it to the mountains
A couple kids in a tourist town
Hibernating in a cabin
It would do our souls some good
Just to stay right there
Soaking up the smell of the pines
In the cold mountain air
And I don't ever want to drive back home
That just means I'll leave you all alone
Remember when we were kids
The year we went to far
I dropped out of that no-good school
And you wrecked your first car
Told you we'd run away
When your daddy said no
And I know your eyes are getting tired
From being on the road
I just wish that we could drive back home
I already know there's something wrong
I've always known that we would make it
I've never known anything at all
Going through a life mostly sedated
But I still answer when you call
I've never had a lot of money
But money can't buy love
Love can't fill up a gas tank
And feed the both of us
One day I'll build a life
To satisfy your dreams
So I'll dim the dashboard lights
And you can drift off to sleep
And I just cannot wait to be back home
It's funny how the fighting made us strong
I've always known that we would make it
I've never known anything at all
Going through a life mostly sedated
But I still answer when you call
