I'm gonna clear my head
  I'm gonna drink that sun
  
  The saddest sight my eyes can see
  Is that big ball of orange sinking slyly down the trees
  Sitting in a broken circle while you rest upon my knee
  This perfect moment will soon be leaving me
  
  Suzanne calls from Boston the coffee's hot the corn is high
  And that same sun that warms your heart will suck that good earth dry
  With everything its opposite enough to keep you cryin'
  Or keep this ol' world spinning with a twinkle in its eye
  
  Get out the map, get out the map and lay your finger anywhere down
  We'll leave the figurin' to those we pass on the way out of town
  Don't drink the water there seems to be something ailing everyone
  I'm gonna clear my head
  I'm gonna drink that sun
  I'm gonna love you good and strong while our love is good and young
  
  Joni left for South Africa a few years ago
  And then Beth she took a job all the way over on the west coast
  And me I'm still trying to live half a life on the road
  Seems I'm heavier by the year (heavier by the year) and heavier by the load (heavier by the load)
  
  Why do we hurtle ourselves through every inch of time and space
  I must say around some corner I can sense a resting place
  With every lesson learned a line upon your beautiful face
  We'll amuse ourselves one day with these memories we'll trace
  
  Get out the map, get out the map and lay your finger anywhere down
  We'll leave the figurin' to those who pass on the way out of town
  Don't drink the water there seems to be something ailing everyone
  I'm gonna clear my head (I'm gonna clear my head)
  I'm gonna drink that sun (I'm gonna drink that sun)
  I'm gonna love you good and strong while our love is good and young
  I'm gonna clear my head
  I'm gonna drink that sun
  I'm gonna love you good and strong while our love is good and young
