The city gets the best of us
Young lovers with old hearts
Just trying to make it through the night
Sunrise on red eyes
And I resent the morning light
New scenery could comfort me
Those yesterdays are far away
Fast living has us wasting time
Away from love and away from life
So I'm off to the country
Where the stars are your eyes watching over me
I'll live with you forevermore
Because I found my way to the Evergreens
Do you remember when you were a kid
Rosy-cheeked and innocent?
Lying small and naked on a bed
Cradled in forever-loving hands
Halos over angels' heads
With bodies full of oxygen
We were given all we need to live a better life
And now I'm living it, so
I'll live with you forevermore
Because I found my way to the Evergreens
On the outskirts of town
In that cool, autumn breeze
With the howl and the whisper
Of the wind in the trees
I will bury my sins and
The dirt won't remember my name
I'll live with you forevermore
Because I found my way to the Evergreens
Never felt so lost before
When I fell out of love with everything
Now I wait at heaven's door
Because I know what a life of loving means
And I'll live with you forevermore
Because I found my way to the Evergreens
I'll live with you forever
I'll live with you forever
I'll live with you forevermore
Because I found my way to the Evergreens
