I'm gonna clear my head   I'm gonna drink that sun      The saddest sight my eyes can see   Is that big ball of orange sinkin' slyly down the trees   Sittin' in a broken circle   While you rest upon my knee   This perfect moments will soon be leavin' me      Suzanne calls from Boston   The coffee's hot the corn is high   And that same sun that warms   Your heart will suck the good earth dry   With everything its opposite enough to keep you cryin'   Or keep this old world spinnin' with a twinkle in its eye      Get out the map   Get out the map   And lay your finger anywhere down   We'll leave the figurin' to those   We pass on our way out of town   Don't drink the water   There seems to be somethin' ailin' everyone   I'm gonna clear my head   I'm gonna drink that sun   I'm gonna love you good and strong   While our love is good and young      Joni left for South Africa a few years ago   And then Beth took a job   All the way over on the West Coast   And me, I'm still tryin' to live half a life on the road   Seems I'm heavier by the year   (Heavier by the year)   And heavier by the load   (Heavier by the load)      Why do we hurtle ourselves   Through every inch of time and space?   I must say around some corner   I can sense a restin' place   With every lesson learned   A line upon your beautiful face   We'll amuse ourselves one day   With these memories we'll trace      Get out the map   Get out the map   And lay your finger anywhere down   We'll leave the figurin' to those   We pass on our way out of town   Don't drink the water   There seems to be somethin' ailin' everyone   I'm gonna clear my head   (I'm gonna clear my head)   I'm gonna drink that sun   (I'm gonna drink that sun)   I'm gonna love you good and strong   While our love is good and young      I'm gonna clear my head   I'm gonna drink that sun   I'm gonna love you good and strong   While our love is good and young
