The Reverend Devin Disco - Prairie Air Lyrics

If I head east I'll only get wetter
If I head west I'd better pack me a sweater
Oh 'cause it's cold out west in the middle of the prairies or so I've been told
It's for the bold

Standing on a foggy hill longing for a hundred acre stare
I'll trade the salt in my lungs for sweet prairie air
Oh big country sky you keep calling for my wife and I'll follow her directly to you
We're coming true

'Cause we can't live here anymore
We're tearing up our roots to replant them in a city that offers more
We tried our best it's not good enough, we're gonna try again in a different place
Just remember to keep a brave face

2200 miles west from where we stand
It's awfully far from our families and from our friends
But we could never see what we could ever be if we don't take this chance
And change our stance

'Cause we can live here anymore
We're tearing up our roots to replant them in a city that offers more
We tried our best it's not good enough, we're gonna try again in a different place
Just remember to keep a brave face

We won't be held back by this tiny little town anymore
When we drive away we'll be sure to keeps our backs to the shore
I'm not as bitter as I sound about my old stomping grounds but I find at my age
I need a change

So we can't live here anymore
We're tearing up our roots to replant them in a city that offers more
We tried our best it's not good enough, we're gonna try again in a different place
Just remember to keep a brave face
