MP3

I'd rather be startin' us up again

And loving each other 'til the very end

Instead of sleeping alone in this king size bed

I'd rather take a ride through the wilderness

Our horses would tire and we'd stop to rest

Then find ourselves a place to lay our heads

 

I'd rather be stuck in a cheap motel

Without any view or a wishing well

And wake in your arms to the sight of a prairie moon

I'd rather be sharing a rockin' chair

On a log house porch as you touch my hair

We'd rock through the night to the sound of an Elvis tune

 

(Chorus)

I know it's a dream , it's crazy it seems

But every day my restless heart stays true

Every day my restless heart it beats for you

 

I'd rather be dancing a two-step tune

We'd swing through the night and then real soon

You'd glide me and spin me across that crowded floor

I'd rather walk in the wheat fields with you

Hand in hand like lovers do

You'd look in my eyes and I know my heart would soar

(Chorus)
