Two Americans

Stretchin' out his uniform
 Was a tall southpaw with a golden arm
 He's gonna live his life
 He tore his elbow clean that day
 And all the scouts forgot his name
 He's gonna live his life
 Whoah, he's gonna live his life
 Dreamin' of her honeymoon
 She'd look for love in the afternoon
 She's gonna live her life
 Drank it down and paid the price
 She trampled hard and she rolled the dice
 She's gonna live her life
 Whoah, She's gonna live her life
 He took a job in Tupelo
 Washed his sins two years ago
 He's gonna live his life
 Tornado alley cut her free
 And she found God with the Cherokee
 She's gonna live her life
 Mmm, mmm, mmm
 Mmm, mmm, mmm
 Dried up dreams and broken wings
 They grew old so separately
