Helping the kids out of their coats
But wait the babies haven't been born, oh oh oh
Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups, oh oh oh
But in the meantime, I've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay
Old dirt road (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Knee deep snow (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Old
I've got a man to stick it out
And make a home from a rented house, oh oh oh
And we'll collect the moments one by one
I guess that's how the future's done, oh oh oh
How many acres how much light
Tucked in the woods and out of sight
Talk to the neighbors and tip my cap
On a little road barely on the map
Old dirt road (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Knee deep snow (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Old (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Old dirt road
Rambling rose (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Well earned soul, oh
Ooh
Ooh
But wait the babies haven't been born, oh oh oh
Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups, oh oh oh
But in the meantime, I've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay
Old dirt road (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Knee deep snow (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Old
I've got a man to stick it out
And make a home from a rented house, oh oh oh
And we'll collect the moments one by one
I guess that's how the future's done, oh oh oh
How many acres how much light
Tucked in the woods and out of sight
Talk to the neighbors and tip my cap
On a little road barely on the map
Old dirt road (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Knee deep snow (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Old (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Old dirt road
Rambling rose (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow (mushaboom, mushaboom)
Well earned soul, oh
Ooh
Ooh

To me, this song has always been about living life to its fullest and enjoying everything you can. It's so cute, and Feist has such a nice voice!
about growing old with someone etc.
the way her voice raises up and down.
the bright eyes cover is good as well, although it doesn't match up to the original.
great for long drives on summer days
But I do not know what a "Mushaboom" is.
