"Two For The Road" by Nancy Griffith
The Lyrics:
Out of the blue horizon
Stretched a band of gold
from the Straights of Juan de Fuca
to the east of Portland, Maine
as we raced along the Buffalo Bayou ...
We have been blessed with dreaming
You had Georgia's New Mexico
and while your hands worked in China
It was from Ireland I wrote
Move out from America
Stretched a band of gold
from the Straights of Juan de Fuca
to the east of Portland, Maine
as we raced along the Buffalo Bayou ...
We have been blessed with dreaming
You had Georgia's New Mexico
and while your hands worked in China
It was from Ireland I wrote
Move out from America
Why:
Tons of places in and around the USA and China and Ireland
