Don't Let Me Leave the Road

Navigate the back roads
Singing songs about the old days
Thinking of our home
Until the silence breaks
We find peace within the mountains
In the water at our feet
Knowing in our souls
It’s something we can’t keep

Let me spend another day in Colorado
Let the mountains sing a song
And drown my sorrow
Let the beating of my heart
Free your hollow
Let me weep, let me lose hope
But don’t let me leave the road

The tree’s a shade of green
That I’ve never seen
Oh, sleeping in the stable
Lay your head on me
We stay up until the morning
Afraid of growing old
Playing songs that tell of heartache
And not doing what we’re told

Let me take another swim in the Mississippi
Let my mother dry her tears
Because she’ll miss me
Let the beating of my heart
Fill the backseat
Let me weep, let me lose hope
But don’t let me leave the road

Let me spend another day in Colorado
Let the mountains sing a song
And drown my sorrow
Let the beating of my heart
Free your hollow
Let me weep, let me lose hope
But don’t let me leave the road
