[Intro] Hey now, come on, come on Mm-hmm, carry on [Verse 1] You packed a map in a paper sack I tied my scarf to the old roof rack We left the porch with the kettle cold Two wild hearts and a road to hold You said, “Keep driving till the fields run wide” I said, “I’ll be your compass by your side” Past wheatland fences, past the county line Your hand found mine and the world felt fine [Choir] Go, go, rolling on Go, go, carry on [Chorus] We are two lovers on a long-run road Through the wide wild heart of America From the red clay bend to the mountain snow Every mile says, “Here we go” You take the wheel, I’ll take the sky We’ll chase that morning till the daylight flies Two hearts singing where the tall grass sways America, carry us away [Verse 2] A diner bell rang in a border town You stole my pie when I turned around The waitress laughed, said, “You two belong” Then the jukebox hummed without a song We crossed the river on a wooden span You kissed my cheek like a reckless man The thunder rolled from the western plain We found a motel and outran the rain [Choir] Go, go, rolling on Go, go, carry on [Chorus] We are two lovers on a long-run road Through the wide wild heart of America From the red clay bend to the mountain snow Every mile says, “Here we go” You take the wheel, I’ll take the sky We’ll chase that morning till the daylight flies Two hearts singing where the tall grass sways America, carry us away [Bridge] If the fuel runs low, we’ll walk awhile If the night comes down, I’ll find your smile No palace roof, no promised town Just your shoulder when the sun goes down [Choir] Oh, carry us, carry us Oh, carry us, carry us [Final Chorus] We are two lovers on a long-run road Through the wide wild heart of America From the ocean mist to the canyon gold Every mile is ours to hold You take the wheel, I’ll take the sky We’ll chase that morning till the daylight flies Two hearts singing where the tall grass sways America, carry us away [Outro] Go, go, rolling on Two lovers, one road, carry on America, carry on
