I took her daddy's old two-horse trailer
I patched a place in the floor that was bad
And we loaded up her barrel pony
And a riggin' bag is all that I had
We left with our suitcases filled with desire
Four hundred dollars, two good spare tires
[CHORUS:]
Now our windshield's a painting that hangs in our room
It Changes each mile like the radio tune
We got up above, we'll make it on love
Under the rodeo moon
Sometimes we'd sleep in a hotel
When we're ridin' that hot hand of luck
Sometimes we stay at a friend's house
But mosttimes we just slept in the truck
At nighttime you'll find us out in the fast lane
Stayin' one step ahead of the snow and the rain
[CHORUS]
Yeah we left with our suitcases filled with desire
Four hundred dollars, two good spare tires
[CHORUS]
