Earth Day and 23 Cents

She's sitting on the hood in her pale yellow dress Hair catching the wind coming in from the west The sun on the canyon, the sky going gold A brand new road map and a story untold

Oh it's beautiful, baby, just look at what's coming The clean open highway and the wide open sky Oh it's beautiful, darling, the way that we're living We're finally starting to get it right

No smoke on the horizon, just clear desert air A world we decided was worth the repair She laughs and she says that the best is ahead And this time I believe every word that she said

Building, hopeful — full band swells

We didn't give up when the road got hard We just drove toward the light Traded the cost for a cleaner start And baby it feels so right

Oh it's beautiful, baby God look at what we're building The road stretches out and it's all going right Wide open and golden Wide open and golden Wide open and golden All the way to the light

Wide open road Wide open road...
