lyrics

Well my papa, he called me a freebird
He woulda thought I'd marry someone to calm my urge
But I can't resist a girl with that wild look in her eye
She don't want the normal life
Just as soon as things begin to make sense,
Our bank account looks good, well she starts to get the itch
For new lands, new dreams, new stories
Life's too short to be safe and boring

Now, this ain't all there is
But we gotta make the most of it before it ends

For now we're broke and blind running towards the finish line
We ain't got it all figured out
Yeah we're broke and blind running towards the finish line
We come too far to give up now

Well I ain't sayin' that this life is easy
When we've been living off of peanut butter and jelly
But Jesus says that the lilies don't spin
But they're looking pretty good and He cares for them
So darlin' I think that we'll be just fine
We got food, we got love and $3 bottle of wine
