Bad Roads and Bad Weather

We were smoke in a roadside bar

Two broke hearts and a rundown Ford (ahhhh)

You had dust on your denim,

rain in your hair I had three bad nights and a prayer

going nowhere

The jukebox was limping through a heartache song We looked like trouble,

but we stayed till dawn

You laughed at my boots all split at the seam Said this

town runs hard on rust and gasoline

I drove you home by the edge of the fields Past churchyard

pines and broken windshields

When the sky went black and the creek ran wild You held

my hand and you gave me a smile No judge,

no line, no town could make us fold

We learned real young how to stand our ground It's you and

me in the dark out here Old truck rolling,

no room for fear Let the whole world talk,

let the cold wind whirl I'm your man,

you're my girl Through the storm,

through the miles, through the hurt we earned

We don't back down and we don't get turned

If it's us against the world tonight Then hold on close,

we're gonna ride

We burned half a tank on those county roads Shared one coat

when the north wind rose Your mama said I was the ramblin'

kind

My old man said love's just a way to go blind But

you were there when the work dried up When the roof gave

in and the river came up We patched that wall with our

two bare hands Made a home from hope and a patch of

land

Let the thunder come,

let the high water rise Ain't a hard road yet that could

change your mind

I've got your name like a flame in my chest

And every bad break only built what's left (ooh) It's you and

me in the dark out here Old truck rolling,

no room for fear Let the whole world talk,

let the cold wind whirl I'm your man,

you're my girl

Through the storm, through the miles,

through the hurt we earned We don't back down and we don't

get turned

If it's us against the world tonight Then hold on close,

we're gonna ride (ooh)

Ain't letting go when the night gets long We wear our scars

like a roadside song
