Helping the kids
out of their coats
But wait the babies
haven't been born
Unpacking the bags
and setting up
And planting lilacs
and buttercups
But in the meantime
I've got it hard
Second floor living
without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up
with my pay
Old dirt road Knee deep snow
Watching the fire as
we grow old
I got a man to stick it out
And make a home
from a rented house
And we'll collect
the moments
one by one
I guess that's
how the future's done
How many acres
how much light
Tucked in the woods
and out of sight
Talk to the neighbours
and tip my cap
On a little road barely
on the map
Old dirt road Knee deep snow
Watching the fire
as we grow old
Old dirt road Rambling rose
Watching the fire
as we grow well I'm sold
Helping the kids
out of their coats
But wait the babies
haven't been born
Unpacking the bags
and setting up
And planting lilacs
and buttercups
But in the meantime
I've got it hard
Second floor living
without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up
with my pay
Old dirt road Knee deep snow
Watching the fire as
we grow old
I got a man to stick it out
And make a home
from a rented house
And we'll collect
the moments
one by one
I guess that's
how the future's done
How many acres
how much light
Tucked in the woods
and out of sight
Talk to the neighbours
and tip my cap
On a little road barely
on the map
Old dirt road Knee deep snow
Watching the fire
as we grow old
Old dirt road Rambling rose
Watching the fire
as we grow well I'm sold
