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
