Blue Mountain Road - Tom Paxton

Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight

With every mile we travel into the mornin' light

We get closer to those blue eyes that make my life so bright

Oh, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight

I see moonlight splashing through the trees and ripples on the lake

I’m headin' home to Woodstock, trying hard to stay awake

Three o’clock in the mornin' on this winding road alone

Fifty miles an hour says, two hours you’ll be home

So, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight

With every mile we travel into the mornin' light

We get closer to those blue eyes that make my life so bright

Oh, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight

I know that my lady’s lyin' sleepin' in our bed

I know my son has dreams of motorcycles in his head

I know this road blindfolded;

every tree and dotted line —

And when it takes me home, it’s just an old, old friend of mine

So, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight

With every mile we travel into the mornin' light

We get closer to those blue eyes that make my life so bright

Oh, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight

Every bend on every hill is one less hill to go

Every mile’s another left behind

Engine, don’t you fail me now

You’ve got to get me home somehow

I’ve got one sweet woman on my mind

Oh-ho, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight

With every mile we travel into the mornin' light

We get closer to those blue eyes that make my life so bright

Oh, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight

Every time I leave I tell myself this time’s the last

Every day away I feel my lifetime rushin' past

I’ve seen half this world and I can tell you what it showed

Everything I love is down this long Blue Mountain Road

So, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight

With every mile we travel into the mornin' light

We get closer to those blue eyes that make my life so bright

Oh, Blue Mountain Road, take me with you tonight

Oh, Blue Mountain Road

Take me with you tonigh
