Lyrics
OUT ON THE RURAL ROUTE
Good morning, here’s your coffee baby
I know you’re tired – I’ve felt the same way lately
But I’ve been thinking - about a better way
Cause this routine - is eating up our days
We’re not gonna live forever – what are we waiting for
As long as were together, the world’s an open door
What are we doing here?
Surrounded by concrete and cars
Nobody here in this mean old city
Cares who we are
It’s time to move on, baby
No more holding out
Let’s get a house and a garden
Out on the rural route
Don’t it seem a change is like a rest
Just imagine a piece of land out West
Cause I’ve been waiting so patiently
For you and me to start a family
We’re not gonna live forever there’s no better time than now
Let’s settle down in a small town, make it work somehow.
