Lyrics

Weather cell from northern Canada 
Due in before the afternoon is over
Brown cows in the fields
Eating their way slowly through the clover

And the canopy of apple trees before us
Symmetrical and pure as a pagoda
Me and Lee Chong from Chicago in a U-Haul
Headed out through western Minnesota
Headed for the islands
Headed for the islands

Our load is heavy, and you can hear it shifting
Say what you like, I'm never gonna stop
Everyone will eat when we've arrived
White apple blossoms soften up the blacktop

Two days from now we'll get to where we're going
The western sky will pitch correct its whining
Our cargo's gonna spill out from the cabin
And rub its eyes and see the silver lining, yeah yeah
Headed for the islands
Headed for the islands
