Us or Bust

from Heaven by Jared Rogerson

	/

lyrics

She landed that summer job that brought her way out here/ She was kinda pretty and she was kinda crazy/ Well fate paired us together all alone and she had no fear/ For that kind of girl, didn’t know I wasn’t ready/ And she’d say come on what could go wrong, like some carefree gypsy dancer/ And we learned to count on each other ‘cause she knew the answer

We got bucked off, we got drug around/ Yeah, we had alotta luck gettin’ stuck outside of town/ I was scared as hell, hoped she could not tell/ ‘cause we picked each other up every time we fell/ Felt like a king in a crown of dust/ When she said it’s us or bust

Hot July night, bright shiny sky and cool clear mountain lake/ She said I’m jumpin’ in it, well do ya got it in ya/ She was bare, so I dared to leap right off that bank/ It was the girl that took my breath away/ Lost in a billion stars makin’ love and makin’ waves/ Come sun up it was back to Earth like outlaw renegades, and

We got bucked off, we got drug around/ Yeah, we had alotta luck gettin’ stuck outside of town/ It was sweet as hell, swore we would not tell/ September came, realized I was in love/ Felt like a king in a crown of dust/ When she said it’s us or bust

Now in the face of danger I still see her wicked smile/ I close my eyes once in a while and re-live every mile, when

We got bucked off, we got drug around/ Yeah, we had alotta luck gettin’ stuck outside of town/ I was scared as hell, hoped she could not tell/ ‘cause we picked each other up every time we fell/ Felt like a king in a crown of dust/ When she said it’s us or bust
