Lyrics

Verse 1
You pulled out slow
Past the feed store sign
Dust on your tail
Like a long goodbye
I saw your brake lights
Fade to a point
At the edge of town
Where the ditch weeds join

Pre-Chorus
And I knew that road
By the broken fence
Past the dead-end creek
And the deer stand bend
If you turn one way
You don’t come back
If you turn the other
It all goes black

Chorus
I’ll follow you home
Where the back roads end
I’ll follow you home
Till the blacktop bends
If the night takes hold
I won’t let go
I’ll follow you home
Where the back roads end
(follow you home)
(follow you home)

Verse 2
Your house sits quiet
By the pecan trees
One porch bulb burning
In the summer heat
Your screen door rattles
Your dog won’t bark
But I know that gravel
By the shape of your car

Pre-Chorus
And I kept my hands
On the wheel real tight
One eye on the fields
One eye on the sky
If you looked back then
You might have known
Some ghosts don’t leave
When the headlights go

Chorus
I’ll follow you home
Where the back roads end
I’ll follow you home
Till the blacktop bends
If the night takes hold
I won’t let go
I’ll follow you home
Where the back roads end
(follow you home)
(follow you home)

Bridge
Let the coyotes call
Let the cotton sway
Let the moon cut silver
Across the gate
If you’re scared of me
You should be
I’m just the shadow
You forgot to feed

Final Chorus
I’ll follow you home
Where the back roads end
I’ll follow you home
Till the blacktop bends
If the night takes hold
I won’t let go
I’ll follow you home
Where the back roads end
(follow you home)
(follow you home)
