I could grow my mustache thick
We could hop upon a steamer ship
We could head down to El Salvador
And live among the poorest poor
And unionize banana farms
And when they scab us, take up arms
To lead the fight for workers' rights
With you is all I want from life
We could get some khaki shorts
In a Sub-Saharan airport
The Serengeti would call our names
"I need a 4-wheel drive, all-terrain
"Something poachers can't outrun
"And a box of shells and a shotgun"
Fightin fire with fire all night
With you is all I want from life
We could pray beneath the sun
As-salamu alaykum
Then get back to cuttin hay
With a scythe, that was my father's way
Your voice is a glass so fair
The mountains hold it everywhere
To stack the dry grass half as high
With you is all I want from life
We could have a war break out
And I'll go away to fight the Kraut
You'll stay home and rivet steel
And on Fridays watch the new news reel
And you'll swear you've seen me on the screen
But it can't be me who you have seen
You'd learned I'd died the day before
To look you in the eyes no more
But Western Union got it wrong!
The new word is I'm well and strong
You're goddam right, and I'm comin home
I would've ran if I hadn't flown
"Oh my God, I'm in the room"
"Tell me what it is you wanna do"
"To hold the years and watch em die
"With you is all I want from life"
