lyrics

She was a waitress from the city with a BFA degree
He was an OEF soldier on temporary leave
They fell in love in a hatchback, kissed goodbye on the tarmac
He never came back

She was a drummer from California, just keeping the dream alive
A runaway in a rock back that never made it past 79
She fell in love with drugs, they shut it down and unplugged
She got sick in the lungs… now she’s gone

It’s a gift to love your life, chasing dreams like fireflies
Don’t waste your time asking why
The greatest act ever known, the getting up and letting go
Release your past life, say goodbye, love survive and drive

He was a homeless boy in Portland, living on broken dreams
Hoping for a turnaround, oh but aching for a drink
He didn’t know it was so bad, he’s locked up and there’s no man
That could take it away… and it’s a shame

It’s a gift to love your life, chasing dreams like fireflies
Don’t waste your time asking why
The greatest act ever known, the getting up and letting go
Release your past life, say goodbye, love survive and drive

On a Kansas farm in nowhere, they loved for 60 years
Pushed through summer’s hell, weathered winter’s fears
Bent by the sunlight, fighting the good fight
It’s the price they pay… everyday

It’s a gift to love your life, chasing dreams like fireflies
Don’t waste your time asking why
The greatest act ever known, the getting up and letting go
Release your past life, say goodbye, love survive and drive
