Two for the Road

(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 buffalo bayou

Chasing the tail of this globe

You say one day, babe we're bound to

'cause it takes two for the road

Chorus

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 it's tail

'cause it takes two for the road

Chorus

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
