Lyrics
Buried in the weeds and dust
Stole some tires and fixed the clutch
And that old truck was ready for the road
They flipped a coin at the interstate
They had a dream that wouldn't wait
God only knew how far they'd go
Cheat the cards in Reno
Hide out in Santa Fe
Make a run for Mexico
Strike gold in L.A.
On their way to a better life
Came up five miles shy of paradise
They made the most of not enough
They did anything for love
They never saw the Great Divide
The old truck gave up and died
They lived in a pay-by-day motel
He took a job driving long-haul trips
She danced all night for tips
They kept their hopes in a wishing well
A white picket fence
A yard full of kids
A little extra money
For the things they never did
On their way to a better life
Came up five miles shy of paradise
They made the most of not enough
They did anything for love
Cheat the cards in Reno
Hide out in Santa Fe
Make a run for Mexico
Strike gold in L.A.
On their way to a better life
Came up five miles shy of paradise
They made the most of not enough
They did anything for love
On their way to a better life
Came up five miles shy of paradise
They made the most of not enough
They did anything for love
