reckless road

I fell for you on a two lane mountain highway

Hugged by quilted trees kissed by an autumn sun

We pitched a tent in the Smoky woods right by the rolling river

And drank moonshine til the stars spoke to us

Then we drove 65 to 20 in Mississippi

In a beat up Subaru from ’93

For four days and five sweet nights it really felt like you were mine

Til you left me in Dallas and kept on driving

I would have stayed with you forever if you’d asked me

Packed a bag and thrown out everything I owned

Chase that high and find that something you were after

I would have joined you on that reckless road

I would have joined you on that reckless road

You came back to Nashville one spring morning

With a tattoo on your thigh and some new scars

The way you held me that night

It really felt like love

But I knew that siren highway had your heart

I would have stayed with you forever if you asked me

Packed a bag and thrown out everything I owned

To chase that high and find that something you were after

I would have joined you on that reckless road

I would have joined you on that reckless road

Did you find that life you were looking for

In Jackson Hole or Colorado

Or did you wake up in another town alone

I would have stayed with you forever if you asked me

Packed a bag and thrown out everything I owned

To chase that high and find that something you were after

I would have joined you on that reckless road

I would have joined you on that reckless road
