Lyrics
[Verse 1] The highway let us go at dawn By supper we were strangers in a town You found a room above the ballroom I tuned my guitar while the band set down Mara kept the set list in her boot Luis had three bad jokes he swore were new We traded stories, names, and chords Till the clock forgot what it was meant to do [Pre-Chorus] Somewhere past the last encore We stopped counting miles and keeping score [Chorus] We were miles apart by morning But we carried the same tune Laughing through the wrong changes In a county no one knew Every town gave us a table Every night another part And the road kept rolling under us While we learned each other's hearts [Verse 2] In amarillo, luis missed his cue Then turned the stumble into something sweet Mara sang a harmony so low The whole room found its feet At a college hall in western maine A trumpet player joined us after two We passed around a borrowed melody And made a little home from what we knew [Pre-Chorus] When the loading door swung open wide We took that easy laughter for the ride [Chorus] We were miles apart by morning But we carried the same tune Laughing through the wrong changes In a county no one knew Every town gave us a table Every night another part And the road kept rolling under us While we learned each other's hearts [Bridge] Now the room is still, the tour bus gone A paper map is folded on the desk I can hear that crooked harmony And every punch line, more or less Tomorrow brings another soundcheck Another name above the door But whatever town we wake in We won't be strangers anymore [Final chorus] We were miles apart by morning Still we carried the same tune Laughing through the wrong changes Under someone else's moon Every town gave us a table Every night another part And the road kept rolling under us While we learned each other's hearts [Outro] The road keeps rolling under us We know each other's hearts
