Lyrics
Verse 1
You got your boots by the bedMine on the floorHalf-packed boxesBy the screen doorI watched you laughAt the old truck’s shakeSaid, “We’ve got time”For the miles we make
Pre‑Chorus
And I can see it nowLike morning in your eyesA little house, a little landA little peace in our lives
Chorus
Here’s to the road aheadHere’s to me and youHere’s to the road aheadAnd every mile we’re gonna useYou and me, babyThat’s a hell of a viewHere’s to the road aheadI’m going where you do
Verse 2
Sun on the dashMud on the gateYour hand in mineA little lateSunday coffeeAnd a porch light glowEvery hard thingCan fall behind us slow
Pre‑Chorus
And I can feel it nowLike lightning in my chestAll the years we’ve been waiting onAre laying out the best
Chorus
Here’s to the road aheadHere’s to me and youHere’s to the road aheadAnd every mile we’re gonna useYou and me, babyThat’s a hell of a viewHere’s to the road aheadI’m going where you do
Bridge
Let the dust blow byLet the world keep scoreI found my homeWhen you came through that door
Chorus
Here’s to the road aheadHere’s to me and youHere’s to the road aheadAnd every mile we’re gonna useYou and me, babyThat’s a hell of a viewHere’s to the road aheadI’m going where you doHere’s to the road aheadHere’s to me and youHere’s to the road aheadI’m going where you do
