lyrics

We rode the miles with a diffident plan
Making the best while we can
Breached we the laws of decency
Born with a sense of liberty, of what may be

Whiter than a cloud or veil
Wiser than thou again
Ripe for the heart so pick it today
Older than Methuselah
Bold to stay who you are
Ripe for the heart so pick it today

Who makes the rules for others to trust
Who says the book was written for us
Walk down the aisle of honesty
Stand by your promises of old and loyalty

Room for the freaks and lovers to dwell
Stand by the words that serve you well
Head for the hills that beckon most
Run to the sunny side and make your harvest grow
