We walked the warm streets of Florida with sand in our pockets lots of times
|
Walked the cold streets of New York with two guitars and a tin cup just for dimes
|
We spent one winter in Winnipeg a summer in the Mississippi sun
|
Had some trouble once in Fargo some bad times in Enceno but we had fun
|
We made the papers once in Phoenix when we stopped and tried to break up a fight
|
We hit keno in Reno and lost it all in Vegas the very next night
|
We hopped a train in Chicago and skinny dipped in San Francisco bay
|
We checked it all in the big hotels then used the fire escape to get away
|
And we wouldn't trade it all for the world and all of its gold
|
It's the past that makes the future worth livin'
|
Mother Luck's been good to us and we will praise her in our songs
|
For the good times and the good love she has given

We flew into Kansas City early April 24th without a plane
|
We got stranded in a snow storm with some folks from Salt Lake City on a train
|
We spent a week one night in LA looking for a doctor's daughter on the strip
|
Then we wound up in Nashville pitchin' songs and waitin' tables for a tip
|
And we wouldn't trade it all...
|
And we wouldn't trade it all...
