lyrics
A small downpayment and then eighty bucks a month
Buys a rectangle of sand out in the sun
With a pale sky and cacti, it'd be perfect
Just for one or two, one or two
Like me and you, me and you
And whatever we wanna get up to
Let the others have their mega mansions
We'll make our home tiny and lean
With a tiny kitchen and a giant yard
And tiny kids to terrorize it
If you know what I mean
They can learn to recognize the rattlers
And to love themselves like they love everyone
And to always wear their hats when they run
Around our rectangle of sand under the sun
Let's buy land out in West Texas
For a small down payment
Then the price of two dinners out a month
And we're good cooks
No mineral rights no water
But just look at that sunset
Look at that sunset
Have I convinced us yet?
You can express yourself through sculpture
And I can learn to immerse myself in synths
Animal, vegetable, or mineral
It would be criminal
To walk away from a dream like this
I know we're in our 20s and it sounds kinda insane
But we could build a basin and try harvesting the rain
Or pick the prickly pears with tongs when they start getting ripe
Or even make a hot tub out of scrap and copper pipe
For when the fall of man it finally comes
Could maybe get ourselves a couple guns
Let's buy land out in West Texas
For a small down payment
Then the price of two dinners out a month
And we're good cooks
No mineral rights no water
But just look at that sunset
Look at that sunset
Have I convinced us yet?
Please let's live out in West Texas
Where animal, vegetable, or mineral
Not all the flying objects
Are identifiable
Let's buy land out in West Texas
'Cause darling it's cheap
And darling I love you
And there ain't nobody or nothing
Who can tell us what to do
Under so much sky but God
