Anywhere was better than "Truvy's Hair and Nails"
An' sometimes you've got to face your fears
Guess we shoulda waited for a better moment
An' what's your life if you ain't gonna live it?
An' workin' at a single pump Texaco
Here we are by our little Coleman camper, dancing by the light of the KOA
We headed out of Kansas in a flatbed Ford
Sometimes you've got to dance with danger
A few short years
Sometimes you've got to dance with danger
And maybe it's crazy and we should've planned better
An' sometimes you've got to face your fears
Well, I got a job in Pittsburgh working in a steel mill
When you looked at me and said
And maybe it's crazy and we should've planned better
Just a couple hundred dollars, you an' me an' the Lord
Guess we shoulda waited for a better moment
Never taken that chance and played it safe
Nothing but a few short years
Nothing but a few short years
All right
We just knew we had to go
And if they hadn't gone busted, I guess we'd be there still
Ain't it somethin' how we made it and we'd give it all back
And maybe it's crazy and we should've planned better
Saved a little money from the little we'd made
Just to chase a promise of a brand new day?
Sometimes you've got to dance with danger
We didn't know where we were goin'
Nothing but a few short years
We had a desperate situation laying in our laps
An' what's your life if you ain't gonna live it?
What's your life if you ain't gonna live it?
Saved a little money from the little we'd made
Never taken that chance and played it safe
Never taken that chance and played it safe
"Let's just throw a dart at that old road map"
Saved a little money from the little we'd made
Girl, I thought that you were kidding
Guess we shoulda waited for a better moment
An' sometimes you've got to face your fears
