(Nanci Griffith) Out of the blue horizon Stretched a band of gold From the straits of Juan de Fuca To the east of Portland, Maine You held my hand As we raced along the buffalo bayou Chasing the tail of this globe You say one day, babe we're bound to 'cause it takes two for the road Chorus We're two of a kind heart Closing in the distances Now here comes our twilight part And we've had the best light of our days We're two rails that never crossed in anger Voices never raised
Two of a kind heart Two for the road We have been blessed with dreaming You had Georgia's New Mexico And while your hands worked in China It was from Ireland I wrote Moving out from America From those buffalo bayou trails Now, didn't you tell me, babe, we'll have this globe By it's tail 'cause it takes two for the road Chorus And we can be anywhere and never leave home With your hand to hold ... we are two for the road Two of a kind heart ... two for the road
