Country Road Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take to the highway
Won't you lend me your name?
Your way and my way
They seem to be one and the same
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Mama don't understand it
She wants to know where I've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again
[Chorus 1]
But you know I could feel it
On a country road
[Verse 2]
Sail on home to Jesus
Won't you, good girls and boys?
I'm all in pieces
You can have your own choice
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels
And they're comin' to set me free
I don't know nothin' about the why or when
But I can tell you that it's bound to be
Take to the highway
Won't you lend me your name?
Your way and my way
They seem to be one and the same
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Mama don't understand it
She wants to know where I've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again
[Chorus 1]
But you know I could feel it
On a country road
[Verse 2]
Sail on home to Jesus
Won't you, good girls and boys?
I'm all in pieces
You can have your own choice
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels
And they're comin' to set me free
I don't know nothin' about the why or when
But I can tell you that it's bound to be
[Chorus 2]
Because I could feel it, child, yeah
On a country road
[Chorus 3]
I guess my feet know where they want me to go
Walkin' on a country road, yeah
[Verse 1]
Take to the highway
Won't you lend me your name?
Your way and my way
They seem to be one and the same, child
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Mama don't understand it
She wants to know where I've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again
[Chorus 4]
But I could feel it, Lord
On a country road
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
Because I could feel it, child, yeah
On a country road
[Chorus 3]
I guess my feet know where they want me to go
Walkin' on a country road, yeah
[Verse 1]
Take to the highway
Won't you lend me your name?
Your way and my way
They seem to be one and the same, child
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Mama don't understand it
She wants to know where I've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again
[Chorus 4]
But I could feel it, Lord
On a country road
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
[Chorus 5]
Walk on down a country road
