    Default House in the Sun

    They’d live in the trees most every night

    Starin in to the horizon till they lost their sight

    Then one day her old man got his gun

    He never knew that fear made em born to run

    Well they had to go

    Seems the mob had found em here too

    Johnny said, how bout it where to this time

    She said she never knew, maybe out west where there’s a little sun shine

    Well I’m no snowy haired hero but we got nothin loose

    We can’t keep burnin these days, every hour’s a pull on the noose

    So Janey and Johnny sat side by side, storms from the north and the south

    The eastern sea haze was dyin’ away, spoken from the town’s mouth

    They rode west all through the night, wear eyed and four hands on the wheel

    The church tower shadow was still on the road when the dawn began to look real

    Janey turned to him and said

    I’ll take you everywhere where we can dance by the moon

    Away from the streets and every god fearin tune

    Just promise you’ll never forget who we were, just where we came from

    Baby we can build a house in the sun

    Don’t look back, a house right in the sun

    Ohhh oh new they made it west to a desert town

    Red clay and stone, the wind made the sweetest sound

    Ran into a man who called himself Tom Payne

    First thing he said was he had never seen the rain

    He took them to a little motel on the edge of everything

    Said I took one look, I knew you two could sing

    I got this little old bar down on Rosalita street

    Why don’t you come out tonight, give the Spanish folk a little taste of your beat

    Johnny said Ill grab my guitar but we can only stay a night or two

    Janey smiled and said, “you got a room for two?”

    He gave them they keys and asked them what they were runnin from,

    Janey said there was just a darkness closing in, made her heart numb

    Tom walked away and said a prayer, for two young lives that were headin nowhere

    Johnny took a match and burned their map, and looked at Janey and said

    I’ll take you everywhere where we can dance by the moon

    Away from the streets and every god fearin tune

    Just promise you’ll never forget who we were, just where we came from

    Baby we can build a house in the sun

    Don’t look back, a house right in the sun

    They ran out of money some time in the California plains

    Johnny worried they’d never break free from those youthful chains

    They looked at each other than up at the sky,

    Janey said, I’m glad we’re hear…even if we die

    Now that hit Jonny somewhere he’d never felt,

    So they walked through the desert for 40 days and then knelt

    He said, I’d give it all for you, and I think I see it, we can make it if we run!

    And they both made it to their house in the sun
