作词 : Hiatt
We made a pact
Lying there on our backs
Swearing to every star
That the sky did hold
Promising our love was true
And promising to see it through
Then we headed due 
SouthwestAcross the 
Muscle Shoals
We slid down a riverbank
In the pouring rain, giving thanks
For the strength just to carry on
Through the fog and the cold
There at the water's edge
She tugged my arm and 
I nodded my head
Just one more step
And that river took a hold
When my love crosses over, 
I'm coming over too
To cross that mighty river that's before us
To the new western world
Mountains high and plain unfurled
Desert stretching out to touch the 
Californias
We said we'd never look back
We never have and that's a fact
That Mississippi washed us clean
Down to the bone
The journey's been long, my friend
Hell, you never know what state you're in
Yeah, but the unknown
It's always the unknown
And when my love crosses over, 
I'm coming over too
To cross that mighty river that's before us
To the new western world
Mountains high and plain unfurled
And desert stretching out to touch the 
Californias
I lost track of you a while
But you were waiting for me with a smile
Made me feel like a little child
With a brand new view
Let's do it all over, babe
It'd just be another trip we made
When my love crosses over
I'm coming too
