Down Swinging

Just for you love I climbed up this old rocky mountain
Just to fill up the air in my lungs
For the first time in years all the world is so clear
From the view I've found on top
In forest we walked by the old Deschutes river
As the sun rose ahead in the dawn
Careful steps on the rocks as we wade right across
On the trail we're traveling on

So we'll both go down swinging love
Take care of all the memories of me when you're done
And we'll both go down swinging love
Take care of all the memories of me when you're done

Do you remember the time when we drove to Missoula
On the clear summer day of July
How we spent our whole day on banks of the lake
With our poles and our fishing lines
Somewhere far far away in the back of my memory
I knew all of our love wouldn't last
I was built for the road with an old traveling soul
And there was no going back

So we'll both go down swinging love
Take care of all the memories of me when you're done
And we'll both go down swinging love
Take care of all the memories of me when you're done

Now take care of yourself just in case I don't see you
Say goodbye to the home we shared
Though I love you the most there's a fork in the road
There's no shame in leaving there

So we'll both go down swinging love
Take care of all the memories of me when you're done
And we'll both go down swinging love
Take care of all the memories of me when you're done
