lyrics

We can live near the locust tree
Cross the bridge, take in the greenery
We can live near the gingkoes
But that's not the place where an Advance girl can go

Come on, put a whistle in my ear
Let's loop around the Southern Tier
Put some distance in our steps
Will the sentries that guard New York ask us what we'll find out west?
And you say…

It's time I'm unbidden to your bricks and troubled nights
My foes and oh my friends that gave such lovely light
Saints of Waverly, I hope you'll understand
Some boys get saved by music, some girls saved by the land

Meet me up at SteepleTop
Let's don't expect a bumper crop
Inch by inch, row by row,
O star to make this mountain garden grow

Early in the evening when we'll walk the circled sands
Know true that you're my woman, 'cause I'm sure I'm your man
Saints of Waverly, I hope you'll understand
Some boys get saved by music, some girls saved by the land
