[Verse 1] We left town with a paper cup And a tank that barely made it up Past the feed store, past the bend Sunset drippin' on the fence Your hand found mine on the gear shift seam Like you knew the road would keep our dreams Brown eyes on the fading sky We just let the miles go by [Pre-Chorus] And every sign we passed Turned slow and gold The world got small The evening got old [Chorus] Take me down that road Take me slow, slow, slow Where the map lines fade And the wheat leans low We can stay this way We can let it roll Take me down that road Take me home, home, home (home, home, home) [Verse 2] Old tires hum on the blacktop lane A creek on the left after the county line Dust on the glass, your laugh on the air Your blue bandanna tied back your hair We don't need much, just this hour wide Just your voice and the fading light If the night comes on, we'll still be fine Got the whole wide world in your outline [Pre-Chorus] And every mile we trace Feels like a prayer Soft as a hymn Floating there [Chorus] Take me down that road Take me slow, slow, slow Where the map lines fade And the wheat leans low We can stay this way We can let it roll Take me down that road Take me home, home, home (home, home, home) [Bridge] Let the dark come in Let the stars wake up We'll keep one more song And one more cup If the engine sighs We'll just lean in close Two voices rising On the open road [Final Chorus] Take me down that road Take me slow, slow, slow Where the map lines fade And the wheat leans low We can stay this way We can let it roll Take me down that road Take me home, home, home (home, home, home) Take me down that road Take me slow, slow, slow Two hearts singing soft As the evening goes We can stay this way We can let it roll Take me down that road Take me home, home, home (home, home, home)
