DMFH

She would walk ten thousand miles between the two short rooms of her home
Pick up a guitar, two chords, answer the phone
And it takes association, a lot of motivation and a line of demarcation
To make her feel alone
Hey you're alone

There's always something better to do
Someplace better to go, someone better to know
Something better to see, something better to be
There's something better to own
Sometimes the price is too high
Sometimes the cost is too dear
Sometimes you can't see the sky
For the ceiling that you built here

I want to buy her a leather jacket
I want to buy her a guitar
I want to charge up all the mileage on a bright red rental car
I want to build us a big white house
I want to paint a big gold star
So she always will remember how right we are

Sometimes the price is too high
Sometimes the cost is too dear
Sometimes you can't see the sky
For the ceiling that you built here
Sometimes you balance your life
Against the interest on your layaway
But some things are just too precious to sell off or give away
Don't give it away

I want to buy her a guitar
I want to build us a big white house
I want to paint a big gold star
I want to find us a place to stay, find us a place to play
The means and the faith to stay the way we are
