It's roll down the road See the soil turn to stone In the summer It's been just so dry The truck throws dust to the sky We left everything fallow The blue in your eyes Is like rain for the rye That takes nothing for granted But I won't back down 'till I see your face Been out all day in this sun-scorched place I can't sit down 'till I'm on my feet I have no choice, I'm in this deep The proof's in the wine When there's nothing but time In the Chilcotin The smoke stings my eyes Why has it been so damn dry Now everything's on fire The blue in your eyes Is the water that winds Through the Motherstone It's not whether its luck runs out Days so long and hot as the equator And all I can do is watch the wheat whither I'm all burned out, I admit defeat I think these things when I'm in this deep But I won't back down 'till I'm in your arms To hell with this drive, to hell with this farm I felt your touch when I fell asleep I love you so much, it makes me weak The herd got away Won't catch it for days In this country Our keep's on the line But north through the pine You are mine Forever and after and on Forever and after and on Forever and after and on
