I was eighteen, she was seventeen,
Summer heat and a pair of faded jeans,
Her daddy said, “Boy,
don't stay out late,” But we laughed and drove right past that
gate.
There was a radio
playing an old love song,
Two-lane highway
and the night rolling on,
She put her hand right there in mine,
And I swear the stars had never shined so bright.
We didn't have much,
But we had enough,
Back when a little bit of love
Was more than money could buy.
Take me down
that old road home,
Where the fields run wide
and the wildflowers grow,
Where her blue eyes used to shine In the dashboard light.
We were young, we were free,
Didn't know what life would be,
If I could turn back the hands of time,
I'd go there tonight.
Yeah, take me down that old road home.
Years went by
like a freight train rolling,
Some things changed, some things kept going,
I heard she married a man from out of town,
And I guess she's got a family of her own by now.
I never asked where she ended up,
Sometimes you leave the past where it was,
But every now and then,
when the sun goes down,
I find myself
taking the long way through town.
And I still remember
That September night,
Her head on my shoulder,
Everything felt right.
Take me down that old road home,
Where the fields run wide
and the wildflowers grow,
Where her blue eyes used to shine In the dashboard light.
We were young, we were free,
Didn't know what life would be,
If I could turn back the hands of time,
I'd go there tonight.
Yeah, take me down that old road home.
Funny how a road can hold More memories than a heart can
hold, And every mile
behind the wheel Brings back something you thought you didn't feel.
Maybe some things ain't meant to last,
But that don't mean you can't miss the past.
Take me down that old road home,
Where the fields run wide
and the wildflowers grow,
Where her blue eyes used to shine In the dashboard light.
We were young, we were free,
And she meant the world to me,
If I could turn back the hands of time,
I'd go there tonight.
Yeah, I'd take
that old road home.
There's an old dirt road outside of town,
And when the sun goes down,
I still drive it sometimes...
Just to remember.
