lyrics

Sister and brother,
Born from another mother and father.
Drifting through Texas,
In a shabby El Camino,
Her cousin had lent us.

Sister and brother,
Chillin' in the front seat, undercover.
Shifting in our feigned sleep,
Listening to the sixties hum over and over.

This blizzard in West Texas,
Left us stranded on the Moon,
But Heaven helped us,
In Sisikiyou County,
While in line at Dairy Queen,
When she found me.

We're two young lovers,
In a listless walk.
Dodging ice particles,
In the dark.
We're two young lovers,
In a listless walk.
Dodging ice particles,
In the dark.

Mallory, will you marry me,
When we get to Austin,
And everyone freaks?
Listen to that thunder,
Create a ripple in the snow,
We cower under.
I'll walk you down the aisle,
Of HEB when you're eight months with our child.
With salaries and sound payments,
You and I can fall in love again in Texas.

We're two young lovers,
In a listless walk.
Dodging ice particles,
In the dark.
We're two young lovers,
In a listless walk.
Dodging ice particles,
In the dark.
