VERSE 2 - Same as VERSE 1
Bring a song and a smile for the banjo
Better get while the gettin's good
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway
Where the neons turn to wood
CHORUS

You can ponder perpetual motion,
Fix your mind on a crystal day,
Always time for a good conversation,
There's an ear for what you say.
CHORUS

And we'll meet by the big red tree,
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin'
Come along, come along with me.
