[Intro] Well, I saw your car pull up like a bright idea in church And my old heart jumped the fence and started looking for work [Verse 1] You walked in humming trouble with a cherry on your tongue I was fresh out of excuses you're a little too much fun My boots were hung like question marks by the door And you smiled like a nickel in a rain-barrel store [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you got that spark That kicks a screen door open You got that grin That leaves my plans wide open [Chorus] Come on, baby, lemme spin you round Like a loose wheel on a county road I’m a match in a milkweed patch And you’re the wind that loves to go Hey now, hey now My heart’s a hitchhiker Hey now, hey now You make the miles look brighter [Verse 2] You could sweet-talk a bulldog out of his midnight bark And make a map from a matchbook in the dark You’re a thrift-store star with a brand-new shine A pocketknife poet with a pocket full of wine [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you got that spark That kicks a screen door open You got that grin That leaves my plans wide open [Chorus] Come on, baby, lemme spin you round Like a loose wheel on a county road I’m a match in a milkweed patch And you’re the wind that loves to go Hey now, hey now My heart’s a hitchhiker Hey now, hey now You make the miles look brighter [Verse 3] When you laugh, the whole room leans like a barstool prayer Like the moon got paid in full and showed up everywhere You’re a mason jar of lightning somewhat moonshine lit A little mean at the edges and a whole lot of grit [Verse 4] I tried to play it cool like a spoon in a suit But you had my nerves tap-dancing in my Sunday boots You’re a kite in a storm, a cool hand on a hot wire A porch light for my fool heart, a spark-plug for desire [Bridge] If love’s a busted pickup, then you stole the keys If I’m a stubborn mule, you’re the shade in the trees I ain’t saying forever, I’m just saying right now You make a broke-down grin look like a ring-and-a-vow [Chorus] Come on, baby, lemme spin you round Like a loose wheel on a county road I’m a match in a milkweed patch And you’re the wind that loves to go Hey now, hey now My heart’s a hitchhiker Hey now, hey now You make the miles look brighter [Outro] So take this ragged love and wear it like a Sunday coat If I’m a joke with good shoes, you’re the punch line I wrote And if the world gets heavy, let it tip and sway We’ll laugh like we outsmarted it and ride off anyway [instrumental] We’ll laugh like we outsmarted it and ride off anyway [fade to end] Yeah; we outsmarted it and rode off anyway.... [fade to end] We rode off anyway.... [end]
