[Verse 1] I met you at the county line Dust on your boots, sun in your eyes You said, “Boy, you got a good old truck” I said, “Darlin’, you got a little luck” We took off down that ribbon of gray Little drink in a paper cup on the dash that day And I knew right then, in the summer heat The wide world felt a whole lot sweeter with you in the seat [Pre-Chorus] As the map kept folding in your lap You laughed and said, “Don’t bring me back” I reached for your hand, you squeezed it tight And the highway lit up like a porch light [Chorus] On the open road, with you That’s the only place I wanna go On the open road, with you Two hearts singing where the blacktop rolls (rolls on, rolls on) We can chase that sky till the daylight fades Still feel at home, whatever miles we make On the open road, with you That’s the only place I wanna go [Verse 2] We passed a gas sign, faded and red You stole my cap and you fixed your hair At a roadside stand, by the orange crates You bought me peaches and I bought the change A little rain came down on a farm field bend You leaned your head and you just grinned Said, “If this is a detour, let it be” I said, “Baby, every turn feels right with me” [Pre-Chorus] When the taillights stretched and the night grew gold You sang along soft to an old back road I looked your way, you looked back at me Like the whole wide world was meant to be [Chorus] On the open road, with you That’s the only place I wanna go On the open road, with you Two hearts singing where the blacktop rolls (rolls on, rolls on) We can chase that sky till the daylight fades Still feel at home, whatever miles we make On the open road, with you That’s the only place I wanna go [Bridge] If the tires wear thin and the money runs low I’ll keep one hand steady and one hand close If the night gets cold on a worn-out lane I’ll be your fire, you’ll be my flame (you’ll be my flame) And when we find that far-off town We won’t slow down, we won’t turn around [Final Chorus] On the open road, with you That’s the only place I wanna go On the open road, with you Two hearts singing where the blacktop rolls (rolls on, rolls on) We can chase that sky till the daylight fades Still feel at home, whatever miles we make On the open road, with you That’s the only place I wanna go [Outro] Yeah, on the open road With you, with you Two old souls and a tank full of dreams Keep on rolling, just you and me
