Lyrics

I almost forgot about the time we saw Old Faithful
We laughed about the sign that showed a person burning up
What I'd give to take another drive across Montana
Sing my songs for real cowboys, selling CDs from the trunk

We've got fewer options now, there's so much more to do
Back then all we needed was time enough to

Make a life worth living
Let distractions stay distractions
Temptation can be taxing
Don't you give it all your time
Go swimming
In the lakes and in the rivers
With lovers, friends, and sinners
In sunlight and moonshine
Live in the city
You don't have to stay forever
But you'll learn and you'll live better
Knowing how to share your space
And if nothing else will help
Walking in the woods goes a long way

Seven miles from town to home means seven miles for singing
That's at least four songs if I can keep the truck in third
Listening to the chorus in the back seat gives me shivers
May our spirits stay freewheeling as our grasp upon the words

In a life worth living
Let distractions stay distractions
Temptation can be taxing
Don't you give it all your time
Go swimming
In the lakes and in the rivers
With lovers, friends, and sinners
In sunlight and moonshine
Live in the city
You don't have to stay forever
But you'll learn and you'll live better
Knowing how to share your space
And if nothing else will help
Walking in the woods goes a long way

Try to keep your mistakes inconsequential
Let your heart be broken once or twice
Don't ignore your regrets but don't weep at lost potential
And if you let somebody share your life
Make a life worth living
Let distractions stay distractions
Temptation can be taxing
Don't you give it all your time
Go swimming
In the lakes and in the rivers
With lovers, friends, and sinners
In sunlight and moonshine
Live in the city
You don't have to stay forever
But you'll learn and you'll live better
Knowing how to share your space
And if nothing else will help
Walking in the woods goes a long way

And if nothing else will help
Walking in the woods goes a long way
A long way
