Lyrics

Buried in the weeds and dust Stole some tires and fixed the clutch And that old truck was ready for the road They flipped a coin at the interstate They had a dream that wouldn't wait God only knew how far they'd go Cheat the cards in Reno Hide out in Santa Fe Make a run for Mexico Strike gold in L.A. On their way to a better life Came up five miles shy of paradise They made the most of not enough They did anything for love They never saw the Great Divide The old truck gave up and died They lived in a pay-by-day motel He took a job driving long-haul trips She danced all night for tips They kept their hopes in a wishing well A white picket fence A yard full of kids A little extra money For the things they never did On their way to a better life Came up five miles shy of paradise They made the most of not enough They did anything for love Cheat the cards in Reno Hide out in Santa Fe Make a run for Mexico Strike gold in L.A. On their way to a better life Came up five miles shy of paradise They made the most of not enough They did anything for love On their way to a better life Came up five miles shy of paradise They made the most of not enough They did anything for love
