Love's Exit 14

[Verse 1]
Pull in at the pump, black truck purring low
Mud on the step, got that midnight glow
You in the passenger seat, eyes on the glass
Snacks by the counter, time moving fast
Tire shine wet, hands on the wheel
We act like forever, but it all feels real

[Pre-Chorus]
Say you need a break
I know that sign
Need a little place
Where the hurt can unwind
Red roof, hard rain
Your hand in mine
We keep circling back
To the same damn line

[Chorus]
Love's on the road again
(Love's on the road again)
Clean places, friendly faces
We keep coming back again
Love's on the road again
(Love's on the road again)
Mile after mile, you my favorite stop
My favorite stop

[Verse 2]
Blue cooler door, cold drinks clack
You steal my fries, I want them back
Receipt in the cup, folded and small
Little paper proof we been through it all
You laugh at the map, say "take the next turn"
I say "baby, anywhere, as long as we burn"

[Pre-Chorus]
Say you need a break
I know that sign
Need a little place
Where the hurt can unwind
Red roof, hard rain
Your hand in mine
We keep circling back
To the same damn line

[Chorus]
Love's on the road again
(Love's on the road again)
Clean places, friendly faces
We keep coming back again
Love's on the road again
(Love's on the road again)
Mile after mile, you my favorite stop
My favorite stop

[Bridge]
[Half-time]
If the night gets long
We don't fold, we roll
Ain't looking for heaven
Just a place to go
You lean on my chest
I lock that door
Then we back on the blacktop
Wanting more

[Chorus]
Love's on the road again
(Love's on the road again)
Clean places, friendly faces
We keep coming back again
Love's on the road again
(Love's on the road again)
Mile after mile, you my favorite stop
My favorite stop
