Down the County Road

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your old blue jacket’s hanging by the door Dust on the boots you don’t wear anymore You said this town was getting too small Then you called me from the county line at dawn [Pre-Chorus] You can take the long way out You can let the miles roll by But when the night gets heavy You know where you can drive [Chorus] Come back down the county road Where the porch light’s still on low You don’t have to say you’re sorry You don’t have to say a thing Come back down the county road Let the radio play us home If your heart’s still looking for me I’m right where you left it, waiting [Verse 2] Your sister’s got your picture on the fridge That crooked grin from the river bridge I keep your coffee cup up on the shelf Like some small promise I made to myself [Pre-Chorus] You can take the long way out You can let the miles roll by But when the night gets heavy You know where you can drive [Chorus] Come back down the county road Where the porch light’s still on low You don’t have to say you’re sorry You don’t have to say a thing Come back down the county road Let the radio play us home If your heart’s still looking for me I’m right where you left it, waiting [Bridge] Maybe we were young and stubborn Maybe leaving felt like truth There’s a place beside me at the table And it’s still saved for you [Final Chorus] Come back down the county road Where the porch light’s still on low You don’t have to say you’re sorry You don’t have to say a thing Come back down the county road Let the radio play us home If your heart’s still looking for me I’m right where you left it, waiting [Outro] Right where you left it, waiting Down the county road
