From the recordings Sister's Act and Blacktop Road
Lyrics
Mud on my boots
Tin on the floor
You pulled up slow
At the screen-door
Cold peach pie on a paper plate
Said you were done
With the same old fate
I laughed out loud
You took my hand
Said ride with me
I got a plan
We hit that road
Past the county line
Radio low and the stars aligned
You got that look
Like a runaway flame
One little spark and
I feel my name
My heart goes first
My pride comes last
Baby, I can't outrun this fast
Take me down that
Blacktop road
Take me where the wild things go
I'm your song, I'm your smoke
Hold me tight and don't let go
Blacktop road
Blacktop road
Tailgate down in a field of wheat
You said, "Darlin
This is where we breathe"
Harmonica crying
Through the night
Moon on your face
And your laugh so bright
You kissed my cheek
Then you kissed my mouth
Said "We ain't looking back now
Dust in the air
And a broken clock
But I'd follow you
To the end of the block
You got that look
Like a runaway flame
One little spark and
I feel my name
My heart goes first
My pride comes last
Baby, I can't outrun this fast
Take me down
That blacktop road
Take me where the wild things go
I'm your song, I'm your smoke
Hold me tight and don't let go
Blacktop road
Blacktop road
If the sky falls hard, let it fall
We'll sing right through it
All and all
I was lost, now
I'm found in your glow
Ain't no map but
I know this road
Take me down
That blacktop road
Take me where the wild things go
I'm your song, I'm your smoke
Hold me tight and don't let go
Blacktop road
Blacktop road
Take me down
That blacktop road
Take me where the wild things go
