now the parking lot is empty everyone's gone someplace
I pick you up and in the trunk I've packed a cooler & a 2-day suitcase
cause there's a place we like to drive, way out in the country
five miles out of the city limit we're singing and your hands upon my knee
so we're ok, we're fine, baby I'm here to stop the crying
chase all the ghosts from your head
stronger than the monster beneath your bed
smarter than the tricks played on your heart
we'll look at them together then we'll take em apart
adding up the total of a love that's true
multiply life by the power of two.
(Do intro chords 1x)
you know the things that I am afraid of, I'm not afraid to tell
and if we ever leave a legacy its that we loved each other well
I've seen the shadows of so many people still trying on the treasures of youth
a road that fancy and fast ends in a fatal crash and I'm glad we got off
to tell you the truth
(Chorus)
all the tiny little trinkets of temptation
something new instead of something old
all you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface and its
foo-oools gold
foo-oools gold
foo-oools gold
now we're talking bout a difficult thing and your eyes are getting wet
but I took us for better and I took us for worse don't you ever forget
the steel bars between me and a promise suddenly bend with ease
the closer I'm bound in love to you the closer I am to free
(Chorus)
