lyrics

It's a long dirt road.
It's a long dirt road.
But I'll run it whole.
Because I don't want you to go.

It's a cold black night.
It's a cold black night.
And I won't be alright.
Until you're in my sight.

So won't you see my spineless back, why don't you jump right onto it?
I will carry you on home if you promise not to split.
Oh if I have to run this road again I'll take the two of us off a cliff.

It's a long dirt road.
It's a long dirt road.
And I'll run it whole.
Because I don't want you to go.

If my legs could talk.
If my legs could talk.
They scream please stop.
Or at least just walk.

So won't you see my spineless back, why don't you jump right onto it?
I will carry you on home if you promise not to split.
Oh if I have to run this road again I'll take the two of us off a cliff.

So won't you see my spineless back, why don't you jump right onto it?
I will carry you on home if you promise not to split.
Oh if I have to run this road again I'll take the two of us off a cliff.
