Two for the Road

(Nanci Griffith)
Out of the blue horizon
Stretched a band of gold
From the straits of Juan de Fuca
To the east of Portland, Maine
You held my hand
As we raced along the buffalo bayou
Chasing the tail of this globe
You say one day, babe were bound to
cause it takes two for the road
Chorus
Were two of a kind heart
Closing in the distances
Now here comes our twilight part
And weve had the best light of our days
Were two rails that never crossed in anger
Voices never raised
Two of a kind heart
Two for the road
We have been blessed with dreaming
You had Georgias New Mexico
And while your hands worked in China
It was from Ireland I wrote
Moving out from America
From those buffalo bayou trails
Now, didnt you tell me, babe, well have this globe
By its tail
cause it takes two for the road
Chorus
And we can be anywhere and never leave home
With your hand to hold ... we are two for the road
Two of a kind heart ... two for the road
