lyrics

sitting the back room of a house i don't know
with empty old bottles of wine
a ghost comes in to tell me good luck with what's to come
and our hello soon becomes a goodbye

waiting for the future to tell me what's next
and waiting for the past to tell me why
i wanna know what will be but it just makes god laugh
cause he only seems to deal in surprise

come on surprise
come on surprise
come on surprise me
ain't nothing wrong with getting just what you want
but i always prefer a surprise

last day in montana first day on the road
new is old was life be death am i
glaciers melt behind me and oceans rise ahead
and somewhere in between i'm alive

waiting for the future to tell me what's next
and waiting for the past to tell me why
i wanna know what will be but it just makes god laugh
cause he only seems to deal in surprise

come on surprise
come on surprise
come on surprise me
life isn't known for being just what you want
but i believe the best is always surprise

these plains they span forever put eternities to rest
but somehow i've been across them many times
america i love you and i hope you love me too
i love this world and i will when i die

waiting for the future to tell me what's next
and waiting for the past to tell me why
i wanna know what will be but it just makes god laugh
cause he only seems to deal in surprise

come on surprise
come on surprise
come on surprise me
never been to good at getting just what i want
but i always been good with surprise
