Had a rare day off
On a day in May
So we took the old car
cnd drove it faraway

We stopped out where
The trees stand quiet
cnd walked and talked
Of how the world conspires.

To take our time away from this
Working such long hours just to live
Don't wanna live like they do
I wanna build a new world for you.

cnd as the sun went down
Over cedar tops
cnd you scratched our names
In the cooling rocks

You lay back on
The side of me
cnd sighed and said
This is all I need

cnd I felt all our years
Like they were just today
cnd I pulled you close
Knowing there's a way

Don't wanna live like they do
I wanna build a new world for you.
