Helping the kids out of their coats
 But wait the babies haven't been born
 Unpacking the bags and setting up
 And planting lilacs and buttercups

 But in the meantime I've got it hard
 Second floor living without a yard
 It may be years until the day
 My dreams will match up with my pay

 Old dirt road
 Knee deep snow
 Watching the fire as we grow old

 I got a man to stick it out
 And make a home from a rented house
 And we'll collect the moments one by one
 I guess that's how the future's done

 How many acres how much light
 Tucked in the woods and out of sight
 Talk to the neighbours and tip my cap
 On a little road barely on the map

 Old dirt road
 Knee deep snow
 Watching the fire as we grow old
 Old dirt road
 Rambling rose
 Watching the fire as we grow well I'm sold
