In those days, we were lions
In those days, we were kings
It's not one thing or the other
It's all things all at once

ooh, I will love you better than him 

And these wings aren't for flying
these wings are just for show
It's years since I've been flying
I'm down to the earth

ooh, I will love you better than him
*

The fire, the wine, the bed and you
In this crimson light I find the truth
And truth is like a punch or two
It hits you hard it knocks you through

So I... get on the road and ride to you

Kiss like a fight that neither wins
One tender payment for our sins
You are the drug that I can't quit
Your perfect chaos is a perfect fit

From broken farm to broken farm
The engine noise like an alarm
It breathes a thunder in my soul
Begins this race through the dustbowl

The wheel it settles in my hands
This is the measure of the man
I point the car at north at you
My Route has scarred the country through
