Two For The Road lyrics
by Nanci Griffith



Nanci Griffith

Out of the blue horizon

Stretched a band of gold

From the straits of Juan de Fuca

To the east of Portland, Maine

You held my hand

As we raced along the buffalou bayou

Chasing the tail of this globe

You said babe one day we're bound to go

Cuz it takes two for the road

We're two of a kind heart

Closing in the distances

Now here comes our twilight part

And we've had the best light of our days

We're two rails that never crossed in anger

Voices never raised

Two of a kind heart

Two for the road

We have been blessed with dreaming

You had Georgia's New Mexico

And while your hands worked in China

It was from Ireland I wrote

Moving out from America

From those buffalo bayou trails

Now, didn't you tell me, babe, we'll have this globe

By its tail

It takes two for the road

We're two of a kind heart

Closing in the distances

Now here comes our twilight part

And we've had the best light of our days

We're two rails that never crossed in anger

Voices never raised

Two of a kind heart

Two for the road

And we can be anywhere and never leave home

With your hand to hold ... we are two for the road

Two of a kind heart ... two for the road
