Take Me Slow

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your old blue jacket hangs behind the door A paper map is folded on the floor You tap the dash and point beyond the pines Saying this two-lane road still knows the way [Pre-Chorus] The fields roll past in green and gold You tell me things you never told [Chorus] Take me down where the county bends Past the feed store and the river fence Windows open, your hand in mine No big plan and no need to arrive If the world gets loud, we can let it go Take me slow down these country roads [Verse 2] We stop for peaches at a roadside stand You pick the ripest one and split it with your hand A dog runs circles by the mailbox post You laugh and say that’s the kind of welcome you miss most [Pre-Chorus] The evening settles on the hay You ask me if we’ve got all day [Chorus] Take me down where the county bends Past the feed store and the river fence Windows open, your hand in mine No big plan and no need to arrive If the world gets loud, we can let it go Take me slow down these country roads [Bridge] Maybe home is not a place Maybe it’s your unhurried pace One more mile, one more song With you beside me, I belong [Final Chorus] Take me down where the county bends Past the feed store and the river fence Windows open, your hand in mine No big plan and no need to arrive When the sun slips low and the day runs gold Take me slow down these country roads [Outro] Your old blue jacket, the dusk, the road And your voice saying, take it slow
