Rowing Upstream
If I tried to tell the whole world just how much I love you
There’s no way in hell that they’d understand
It would be like me describing the great Rocky Mountains
To sailors who’d never set foot on dry land
Never set foot on dry land
But Baby you and me we ain’t gonna get any younger
And I don’t want you holding hands with some clock
And I still believe the whole world is ours for the asking
But we gotta do a lot more than just talk the talk
Baby I don’t want us getting things too realistic
I don’t want to forget life is but a dream
Baby if it’s true that time is just a river
Let’s just start rowing upstream
Let's just start rowing upstream
If my wild imagination was king of the real world
We wouldn’t have to rattle round this old house
Baby we’d be out there homesteading our 100 acres
In the high desert on the outskirts of Taos
Baby I don’t want us getting things too realistic
I don’t want to forget life is but a dream
Baby if it’s true that time is just a river
Why don’t we start rowing upstream
Back to where we were dead certain we were gonna hit the top
Back to when the good times and good news were never gonna stop
Back before the details started weighing down the joy of being alive
Back to when the future was spread out before us
Spread out before us like El Paso on Scenic Drive
