You bought a beat up car
To take us out of here
You said we
Could take it state to state
Until it starts to keel
But when the tires start hitting the dust
I'd have to take the wheel
To find the closest old motel
Where we could get a meal
And I kept seeing
A perfect house
On 40 acres
Away from town on a mountain
Tell me that it's all it takes
And I'll make it so
'Cause I'd do anything
'Cause I'd do anything
You want a brand new start
To build on something real
You have me tongue tied
Caught off-guard
And saying how I feel
So now my words start losing your trust
And you need time to heal
But I can tell you now
It's everything I wanted
The life we live is surely gonna warrant
A perfect house
On 40 acres
Away from town on a mountain
Tell me that it's all it takes
And I'll make it so
'Cause I'd do anything for
A perfect house
A white Dalmatian
A linen couch in the basement
Tell me that it's all it takes
And I'll make it so.
'Cause I'd do anything
'Cause I'd do anything
'Cause I'd do anything for
A perfect house
On 40 acres
Away from town
And I'll tell you now
Well make it any way we want it
A life we build is all I ever wanted
