I left the town that was my future To ride along with you You said I'm going to California So I was going to California too You get a thrill from causing trouble And life has offered nothing more So we kept it to the backroads Looking for an easy score I need this to be love I need this to be love this time It's the only reason good enough We stole our way across Nebraska And passed the great divide We thundered through the canyons Looking for a place to hide Swept away by your ambition My families' name can't save me now So turn the key in the ignition And if our freedom will allow I need this to be love I need this to be love this time It's the only reason good enough I need this to be love this time It's the only reason good enough For the risks that we've taken And the life I've forsaken And friends left behind Cause unlikely schemes And the grandest of dreams Will fade after time I need this Now we're far across the border And still we're on the run All we saw of California Was the barrel of a gun So leave me on the highway Cause they're looking out for two Lay low and go your own way And if we make the rendezvous I need this to be love I need this to be love this time It's the only reason good enough I need this to be love I need this to be love this time It's the only reason good enough I need this to be love I need this to be love this time It's the only reason good enough Aah Aah Aah Aah I need this to be love I need this to be love this time It's the only reason good enough
