Follow That Road


A D If you're coming in the summer, you'd be better to split off on thirty-five. A D There's the Starlite Drive-In movie on your left, just beyond the county line. A Right after that you'll see two silos, one is silver, one is blue. D E 'Bout a quarter mile further, make a left onto Highway forty-two. A D Then follow that road, cornfields as far as you can see. A D Follow that road, back through time, back through distance, back to me.

If you're driving by in autumn, you should follow up the river to Bear Lake.
That's the time to see the colors and there's an old covered bridge you'll want to take.
Late at night be careful, just be sure to watch for deer out on the road,
And if it's early in the morning, sometimes it gets foggy, take it slow.

But follow that road, sugar maples far as you can see.
Follow that road, back through time, back through distance, back to me.

If you get the notion in December to drop by for just a day,
There's that tiny little road that no one knows about, it's safe to go that way.
It's up between two fields so the sunlight melts the ice by afternoon.
You'll see two houses by the fields, someone's always there, if not, they'll be back soon.

Just follow that road, snowdrifts just as far as you can see.
Follow that road, back through time, back through distance, back to me.

You'll remember, in the springtime, how the puddles look like pieces of the sky.
Fallen down by the roadside to delight any stranger passing by.
The softness of the grass on Raven Hill where we counted stars all night.
You must know how much I miss you and that any way you get here is alright.

Just follow that road, wildflowers just as far as you can see.
Follow that road, back through time, back through distance, back to me.


A D Just follow that road... Follow that road... A D A D A Follow that road... Follow that road...

(Words and music by Anne Hills, 1992)
