Darlin, let me in. Its only me.
Gotta talk of how our lives will be.
I found us two ways outta here, but I dont know which is right.
Sweetheart, ya gotta help me choose tonight.
I only know our loves worth fightin for,
Though livin isnt easy, and freedom takes much more.
But while we got each other, theres somewhere we can find
To leave this desolation valley far behind.
Cant just be good victims anymore.
Pa wont leave us anything but poor.
So do we both go underground, a paper game to play,
Or head for empty country, far away?
musical interlude
Country livins hard, and land aint cheap.
Lose one crop and were in trouble deep.
Wed have to barter, make, or grow everything wed own,
But there, at least, we might be left alone.
To leave this desolation valley far behind
