Lyrics

[00:01.23]
[00:14.24] No there won't be an ambush anytime soon
[00:17.52]
[00:20.27] If the birds are returning it's safe enough to say that much is true
[00:25.95]
[00:27.46] In the desert that borders between me and you
[00:30.52]
[00:33.76] Where more than a few good men have failed to come back or get through
[00:38.00]
[00:40.59] And the only things living around here don't wanna talk
[00:44.06]
[00:47.38] And the wine isn't working and the vacancy signs are off
[00:51.06]
[00:54.62] The hardships of marching they've only just begun
[00:57.69]
[01:01.69] Love is a country better crossed when you're young
[01:05.00]
[01:19.37] I'm staring in the window of a moving train
[01:25.43] That looks almost human as she barrels down the tracks and comes my way
[01:30.00]
[01:32.50] This no good dog of mine's got the heart of a stray
[01:35.63]
[01:38.56] And is down in the ditch lights before I've even a chance to call his name
[01:43.84]
[01:45.65] I'm watching the clouds overwhelming the evening sun
[01:48.72]
[01:52.60] It's just after lightning and before the thunder comes
[01:56.03]
[01:59.60] When nothing really happens and suddenly then it does
[02:02.84]
[02:06.65] Love is a country better served with someone
[02:09.78]
[02:23.96] I remember the evening you last came home
[02:27.47]
[02:30.09] It was warm as the devil sat back up with his boots put back on
[02:35.72]
[02:36.97] He said you never get boring you keep me young
[02:40.33]
[02:43.43] There's more work than ever and still only one of me to get it done
[02:48.61]
[02:50.23] Now her ring's on the seat riding shotgun next to my hat
[02:54.49]
[02:57.17] With her name on the window where fog settles down on the glass
[03:01.11]
[03:04.42] Nowhere in the middle of somewhere that has no past
[03:08.05]
[03:11.42] Love is a country you leave and not welcome back
[03:14.80]
[03:20.17] You leave and not welcome back
[03:27.30] Love is a country that won't be overcome
[03:30.16]
[03:34.41] That won't be overcome
