[Verse 1] Your hand on the wheel, my hand on your knee Dust on the dash and a dog-eared map on me We left that town with the porch lights dim Now the horizon's all that fits our skin [Pre-Chorus] Every county line feels like a dare You look over laughing like nothing's there But I know that look when you bite your lip You were born for motion, I was born to slip [Chorus] Take me down the open road Let it bend, let it hold I don't want a parked-up heart I want your love in the dark Take me down the open road (oh, take me down) Where your kiss keeps pulling slow (keep pulling slow) If I’m lost, I’m found by you On that ribbon running through [Verse 2] We stopped by a diner off Highway 8 You wrote our names on the paper plate Said, "If we never turn back, I’m fine with that" Then you stole my fries and I stole your map [Pre-Chorus] The moon came up like a taillight glow You tapped the glass and said, "let's go" So I threw that plan to the wind behind And followed your shadow up that white line [Chorus] Take me down the open road Let it bend, let it hold I don't want a parked-up heart I want your love in the dark Take me down the open road (oh, take me down) Where your kiss keeps pulling slow (keep pulling slow) If I’m lost, I’m found by you On that ribbon running through [Bridge] If the world gets heavy, I'll be your song If the night gets hungry, I'll keep us strong We don't need a finish, we don't need fast Just you in my seat and the miles that last [Final Chorus] Take me down the open road Let it bend, let it hold I don't want a parked-up heart I want your love in the dark Take me down the open road (oh, take me down) Where your kiss keeps pulling slow (keep pulling slow) If I’m lost, I’m found by you On that ribbon running through Take me down the open road (oh, take me down) Baby, let the whole world go (let the whole world go) If I’m lost, I’m found by you On that ribbon running through
