[Verse 1]
You left your blue coat on the kitchen chair
Dust on the shoulders, your scent still there
I poured two coffees, watched one go cold
Some things leave softly, some things take hold
[Chorus]
Come back down the county road
I got a heart that won't unload
Every mile keeps calling your name
Every door swings open just the same
[Verse 2]
The porch board groans when the wind leans in
Old screen door rattles like a tired friend
Your photograph curls by the window fan
I still trace the outline of your hand
[Chorus]
Come back down the county road
I got a heart that won't unload
Every mile keeps calling your name
Every door swings open just the same
[Bridge]
If the river carries what I couldn't say
Let it turn your footsteps this way
I won't ask where you've been or why
Just bring that restless look in your eyes
[Final Chorus]
Come back down the county road
I got a heart that won't unload
Every mile keeps calling your name
Every door swings open just the same
[Outro]
Blue coat waiting on the kitchen chair
Morning finds me talking to the air
