Lyrics
[Verse 1] I found a folded map in an old blue coat Three red marks where the best roads go Called you up, said, “Pack light, don’t wait” You laughed twice and met me by the gate [Pre-Chorus] We had a little time and a long way to run A pocket full of chances and a rising sun [Chorus] Come on, take the bright road with me Past the county line, past what used to be If the wheel starts shaking, we’ll steady the ride You bring the story, I’ll bring the stride Come on, take the bright road with me There’s a brand-new page where the old one used to be [Verse 2] At the first small town, a farmer waved Said the bridge was out, but the river behaved We took the back turn through a field of gold Found a little band playing brave and bold [Pre-Chorus] The drummer counted four, the room came alive You leaned close and said, “We made it in time” [Chorus] Come on, take the bright road with me Past the county line, past what used to be If the wheel starts shaking, we’ll steady the ride You bring the story, I’ll bring the stride Come on, take the bright road with me There’s a brand-new page where the old one used to be [Bridge] I’ve worn out a few dreams trying to make them stay Watched good intentions lose their way But you’ve got that look that turns wrong into right And a way of making tomorrow feel close tonight [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Come on, take the bright road with me Past the county line, past what used to be If the wheel starts shaking, we’ll steady the ride You bring the story, I’ll bring the stride Come on, take the bright road with me Every mile ahead is where we’re meant to be [Outro] Fold that map, let the blue road bend Some roads begin when the old roads end
