lyrics

I let do all the driving.
I watched the highway for signs.
I think I slept through Kentucky.
You didn’t seem to mind.

You took some pictures in Nashville.
“Something,” you said, “to show all our friends.”
I took my chances in Vegas.
You said, “The house always wins.”

chorus:
We don’t need a map now.
I can take you anyplace.
A thousand miles of highway are written on my face.
And if you walk away now
and leave me on my own,
I’ll just adjust the mirror.
I can show myself home.

So from Manhattan to Kansas
We kicked up a whole lot of dust.
And I was cleaning my boots off
while you were checking for rust.

There was a night in Missouri
When you carved our names in a heart;
and somewhere south of Miami
We turned her over, and tried to restart.

chorus
