[Verse 1] Dust on the tailgate, sunset on the wire You pulled up laughing, sparks under the tires Old county road humming past the grain I knew your name before you said it plain [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Come on, don’t think twice” So I turned that wheel into the night [Chorus] Ride with me where the blacktop bends Where a good old song and a cold drink end Put your hand in mine, let the whole world wait We’ll make a little forever by the county gate If tomorrow comes, let it find us free You and this road and the wild in me Ride with me, ride with me That’s where I want to be [Verse 2] Your red bandana flew from the mirror Every mile made the future clearer We passed the barn with the weathered sign You leaned my way and I lost track of time [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Come on, don’t turn around” And the tires sang that small-town sound [Chorus] Ride with me where the blacktop bends Where a good old song and a cold drink end Put your hand in mine, let the whole world wait We’ll make a little forever by the county gate If tomorrow comes, let it find us free You and this road and the wild in me Ride with me, ride with me That’s where I want to be [Bridge] When the rain comes hard on the windshield glass I’ll be the steady road beneath your path When the years roll on and the miles run thin I’ll choose that passenger seat again [Final Chorus] Ride with me where the blacktop bends Where a good old song and a cold drink end Put your hand in mine, let the whole world wait We’ll make a little forever by the county gate If tomorrow comes, let it find us free You and this road and the wild in me Ride with me, ride with me That’s where I want to be [Outro] Ride with me Yeah, ride with me That’s where I want to be
