Where the Tall Grass Leans

Tekst utworu

[Verse 1] You left your jacket by the kitchen chair Dust from the county road still hanging there I found your note beside the coffee tin Said, “Meet me where the old fence bends” [Pre-Chorus] I know the road, I know the turn I know the porch light you leave burned [Chorus] Take me back where the tall grass leans Where the creek runs silver through the trees You and I with a little red-dirt on our shoes Making a promise we intend to choose If the whole wide world keeps pulling us apart I’ll find you by the field and follow my heart [Verse 2] Your Sunday boots are waiting by the door The radio is humming like before We drive past barns painted weathered white And watch the hills turn gold in the light [Pre-Chorus] No map can tell us where to go But you say stay, and I say so [Chorus] Take me back where the tall grass leans Where the creek runs silver through the trees You and I with a little red-dirt on our shoes Making a promise we intend to choose If the whole wide world keeps pulling us apart I’ll find you by the field and follow my heart [Bridge] Maybe home is not a place we find Maybe it’s your hand fitting into mine Let the highway roll, let the miles unwind I’m already there when you say my name [Final Chorus] Take me back where the tall grass leans Where the creek runs silver through the trees You and I with a little red-dirt on our shoes Making a promise we intend to choose If the whole wide world keeps pulling us apart I’ll find you by the field and follow my heart [Outro] By the field, under open blue Every road comes back to you
