lyrics

I been dreamin' of a lakeshore & a pendleton overcoat,
snow settlin' on Jasper Pine while I follow you up the road,
I been thinkin' bout a fireplace and a chimney whistlin' smoke &
the way you curl up next to me on Kamiak's southern slope

I been ponderin' the Ponderosas in the evenin monochrome
with her hazy grays & lazy days of eatin' what we've grown
& I've had the luck of a larkspur who's seeds have just been sown
by the well-worn hand of a broken man and the only love that he's known

Darlin' you got the kind of soul Butch Cassidy couldn't steal,
you could start a heartbreak Bogart would be hard-pressed to conceal
you were born as tough as Dixie, lived through love like a battlefield,
if your dreams aren't yet blown to smithereens, I'd love for you to let me make 'em real,

If I could see the evergreen shine in your Inland Empire eyes each night
& spend my mornin's alongside you with a loaf of bread & a sunrise,
there's no dollar I'd need again, cuz no fortune could buy,
the feelin' of your freewheelin' fingers intertwined in mine.
