lyrics

My sister headed out in her ’99 Chevy.
She had it loaded down, and her heart was heavy.
All the broken dreams of their life were hers now,
Tied in the back with strings. She wondered what they all were now.

The first night the road was a dirty river before her,
Its current strong and slow. She wasn’t much of a swimmer.
She’d like to say she knew, but the first years were good ones.
He built a wall of clues until it blocked out the sun, and she said,

“If I had enough money, what I wouldn’t do.
If I had enough time, what I wouldn’t do.
If I had enough beauty, would that have kept you?”

Well sister, hold that road, and keep your head above water,
And first you’ll learn to float, and then your heart will find laughter.
The river black and wide will carry you in its hand now,
And all your fears inside will wash clean from your head, and then you’ll say,

“I think I have enough money, mmmm, I really do
Think I have enough time, oh yeah,
I think I have enough beauty to do without you.”
