[Verse 1]
This old country road
Cuts through my veins
Dust on the dash
And my hands on the wheel
The engine's roaring
Like a dare in my chest
I got the whole world
Slipping off real
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name, I won't hear
Too far gone in the gears
Headlights shaking the dark
I can feel it in my bones
[Chorus]
Country road, take me hard
Take me fast, take me far
Country road, burn it in me
(yeah, burn it in me)
I’m gone, I’m gone
With the radio screaming
Country road, take me hard
Take me far
[Verse 2]
I missed a red light
Down on Miller Bend
Saw my old life
In the rearview pane
Mama said slow down
But the night said more
I let that wild sound
Wash through my brain
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name, I won't hear
Too far gone in the gears
Headlights shaking the dark
I can feel it in my bones
[Chorus]
Country road, take me hard
Take me fast, take me far
Country road, burn it in me
(yeah, burn it in me)
I’m gone, I’m gone
With the radio screaming
Country road, take me hard
Take me far
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
Let the white lines blur
Let the old ghosts fade
I was born for the run
Not the cage they made
One more mile
One more spark
I can hear that open road
Calling in the dark
[Final Chorus]
Country road, take me hard
Take me fast, take me far
Country road, burn it in me
(yeah, burn it in me)
I’m gone, I’m gone
With the radio screaming
Country road, take me hard
Take me far
