Song Description

This song starts out with a guy who wants to get away from the rest of the world into a dream-like blooming desert. But then when he meets a beautiful woman who is also running from the rest of the world, he decides he wants to take them both together to an enchanted place with a temperate climate in Antarctica.

Lyrics

Verse 1

I can't find my way back home
So I think I'll find a new one
If I'm just wandering on my own
Then I think I'll change direction
I'll settle in a place a thousand miles
From the nearest highway
Where the city lights don't drown out the stars
And you can't hear the Freeway

Chorus

Where the waterfalls fall from the canyon walls
And carve out rivers in the sand
Where the bluegrass grows with the cactus
And the mountain lion sleeps there with the lamb
I wanna live in the land
where the sun goes to set
Where God Is President

Verse 2

I don't wanna leave my mark
On civilization
Girl, maybe you could come with me
We'll start a little nation
We'll go to a land 5000 miles
from the nearest highway
where you can look straight at the sun
but you have to look sideways at the milky-way

Chorus 2

Where the waterfalls fall from the glaciers
And the icebergs fall into the sea
Where the daffodils and trees grow for the first time
where they haven' been seen for centuries
We can live
where the sun
In December never sets'
Where God is president

In the land with no shores
called South, East, or West
Where God is President

BRIDGE

We'll cross the fault-lines and the lava beds
Out across the point of no return
And we'll do it all alone
We'll find a perfect world that is untouched
Waiting for the two of us
Give me your hand and trust
I'll lead you
To...
Where God is president
