[Verse 1]
I took the dirt road
With my hat pulled low
Thought I’d meet my darling
At the county line road
Muddy boots, one lantern
Pocket full of prayer
Every bend I swear to God
She oughta be there
[Pre-Chorus]
But the road turned in on me
Like a snake in the grass
I kept on walkin’
To the same old past
[Chorus]
I’m looped up, love
(Looped up, love)
I’m looped up, love
(Take me home)
One stone path
Brings me back again
One dirt path
To the same dead end
[Verse 2]
Talkin’ to the moon now
Like she knows my name
Saw my own shadow
Wearin’ my face
I been laughin’ too loud
I been talkin’ to crows
My hands all shakin’
At the edge of the road
[Pre-Chorus]
And the violin moans
Like it seen this before
Every step I take
Opens up a door
[Chorus]
I’m looped up, love
(Looped up, love)
I’m looped up, love
(Take me home)
One stone path
Brings me back again
One dirt path
To the same dead end
[Bridge]
I lost my name in the gravel
Lost my sleep in the rain
Saw my own grin in a puddle
Lookin’ half insane
Then I heard your voice
Soft through the thorn and pine
Not a trick, not a fever
You were finally mine
[Final Chorus]
I’m looped up, love
(Looped up, love)
I’m looped up, love
(Take me home)
One stone path
Led me to your hand
One dirt path
Now I understand
I was torn apart
Till you said my name
Now the road unwinds
And I’m not the same
