Get Out the Map

I'm gonna clear my head

I'm gonna drink that sun

The saddest sight my eyes can see

Is that big ball of orange sinkin' slyly down the trees

Sittin' in a broken circle

While you rest upon my knee

This perfect moments will soon be leavin' me

Suzanne calls from Boston

The coffee's hot the corn is high

And that same sun that warms

Your heart will suck the good earth dry

With everything its opposite enough to keep you cryin'

Or keep this old world spinnin' with a twinkle in its eye

Get out the map

Get out the map

And lay your finger anywhere down

We'll leave the figurin' to those

We pass on our way out of town

Don't drink the water

There seems to be somethin' ailin' everyone

I'm gonna clear my head

I'm gonna drink that sun

I'm gonna love you good and strong

While our love is good and young

Joni left for South Africa a few years ago

And then Beth took a job

All the way over on the West Coast

And me, I'm still tryin' to live half a life on the road

Seems I'm heavier by the year

(Heavier by the year)

And heavier by the load

(Heavier by the load)

Why do we hurtle ourselves

Through every inch of time and space?

I must say around some corner

I can sense a restin' place

With every lesson learned

A line upon your beautiful face

We'll amuse ourselves one day

With these memories we'll trace

Get out the map

Get out the map

And lay your finger anywhere down

We'll leave the figurin' to those

We pass on our way out of town

Don't drink the water

There seems to be somethin' ailin' everyone

I'm gonna clear my head

(I'm gonna clear my head)

I'm gonna drink that sun

(I'm gonna drink that sun)

I'm gonna love you good and strong

While our love is good and young

I'm gonna clear my head

I'm gonna drink that sun

I'm gonna love you good and strong

While our love is good and young
