[Verse 1]
I was young, spring had sprung
I wanted out of [?]
Kept the party dress in the glove compartment
Of my green-and-white Ford Bronco
A gust of wind came blastin' in
The gas station where I was workin'
He was twenty-three, he was on leave
And the rest gets a little blurry
[Chorus 1]
Maybe it was circumstance
But I saw my chance and I took it
Through the sunset, shiftin' gears
'Til there's somethin' better shinin' diamond clear
Shinin' diamond clear
[Verse 2]
We didn't have much in common but I had fallen
I was thirsty and he looked like water
When I started to show, he proposed
For a while we were in tall cotton
He started comin' home high and then came the fights
And I did what I had to do
[Chorus 2]
Through a sunset, shiftin' gears
'Til there's somethin' better shinin' diamond clear
Lookin' for happy ever after
Forever and ever and ever and ever again
[Verse 3]
Started over in Kansas City
[?]
A lotta workin' late, a little Section Eight
And the burden gets a little less scary
[Chorus 3]
Sometimes it was treadin' water
Guess it is sometimes for all Eve's daughters
Lookin' for happy ever after
Forever and ever and ever and ever again
[Verse 4]
Love showed up and I let him in
And if I had to do it all again
[Chorus 4]
To the sunset, shiftin' gears
'Til there's somethin' better shinin' diamond clear
I found my happy ever after
Forever and ever and ever and ever again
[Instrumental Outro]
