Lyrics
[Verse 1] I saw you by the mile marker With dust on your jeans You asked if I was headed Where the river goes lean I said I was just walking Till my feet said stop You laughed like you knew the answer And we both forgot the clock [Pre-Chorus] So we took the long black ribbon Side by side in the dark Two names on the same old weather Two sparks in a jar [Chorus] Same road, same road Till the bend let go Same road, same road We kept from bein' alone Same road, same road Till the forks down low Then you took your way And I took mine home [Verse 2] You told me about your sister And the town you left behind I told you I’d been nowhere Just out killing time We passed a fence full of rusted signs A broken-down blue truck Shared the last of your apple And called that good enough [Pre-Chorus] Then the moon came up behind us Like a coin in a crack And the silence wasn’t lonely With somebody at your back [Chorus] Same road, same road Till the bend let go Same road, same road We kept from bein' alone Same road, same road Till the forks down low Then you took your way And I took mine home [Bridge] At the split there was no reason To make it mean goodbye You tipped your hat like a promise I just nodded in reply One road ran to the cotton One road ran to the pines For a little while we had one direction For a little while, one line [Final Chorus] Same road, same road Till the bend let go Same road, same road We kept from bein' alone Same road, same road Till the forks down low Then you took your way And I took mine home Same road, same road It was enough to know We were strangers when we started And kinder when we go
