Two For The Road Lyrics - Singles - Griffith Nanci

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 buffalou bayou 

Chasing the tail of this globe 

You said babe one day we're bound to go 

'cause it takes two for the road 

We're two of a kind heart 

Closing in the distances 

Now here comes our twilight part 

And we've had the best light of our days 

We're 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 Georgia's 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, didn't you tell me, babe, we'll have this globe 

By its tail 

It takes two for the road 

We're two of a kind heart 

Closing in the distances 

Now here comes our twilight part 

And we've had the best light of our days 

We're two rails that never crossed in anger 

Voices never raised 

Two of a kind heart 

Two for the road 

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
