we were out in the woods by a camp fire and just decided to start writing...cross the border to mexico was the first line and everything else fell into place.
Lyrics
Cross the border to Mexico
Tight handles on the CB radio
Who’s the one we’re running from?
Freedom from everyone
Checks herself in the rearview mirror
Gives me a wink as if I didn’t see her
Raise the level of innocence
Forget about love
In a sense
Everything is simple
If it costs nothing, nothing at all
And the secrets of life
Come so easy when you’re young
And going there is easy
Going there is easy
Going there is easy
Taking the Long Way
Moose Tracks with Eskimos
Chocolate covered cookie dough
Soothes my lack of laziness
Improves the way I’m phrasing this
While you change who you are just to be yourself
Falling asleep watching reruns of SNL
How we’ll get there we’ll never know
All that matters now is where we’re going
Twisted trees in Tennessee
Spinning around like you and me
No real plans for more than this
I’m kind of new at this, rather fortuitous
And you’re making fun of all my jokes
And we’re stopping by just to meet the folks
And when conversations, they last forever
Then you know you’re meant to be together
