[Verse 1]
My whole world waits for me
Down County Road 123
Got the kinda sunsets to die for
Got the kinda love that makes you want more
She keeps her own fire burning
'Til those bus wheels stop turning
The way she hits that screen door, running, jumps up into my arms
There's no place I'd rather be than with her
Down County Road 123
[Chorus]
Yeah, the way she slides on over
Lays her head on my shoulder
She knows just how to make me smile
Yeah, we both can't hardly wait
To pull through that rusty gate
Country love songs on the FM dial
Boulevards and avenues
Big city front page news
Got it all in my rearview
Gonna lose those Highway 40 blues
[Verse 2]
She takes this broken dreamer
Shows me the grass is greener
A few cows grazing in the field
Whitetail running 'round the old windmill
Sweet whispers and soft skin
A "get home now and come and get this" grin
When we make love again, it feels like the first time
There's no place I'd rather be than with her
Down County Road 123
[Chorus]
Yeah, the way she slides on over
Lays her head on my shoulder
She knows just how to make me smile
Yeah, we both can't hardly wait
To pull through that rusty gate
Country love songs on the FM dial
Boulevards and avenues
Big city front page news
Got it all in my rearview
Gonna lose those Highway 40 blues
[Post-Chorus]
Gonna lose those Highway 40 blues
[Outro]
My whole world waits for me
Down County Road 123
A little A-frame with a porch swing
It ain't much, but she's my everything
Quarter mile when that blacktop ends
Take a turn right at the old grain bin
My heaven on Earth begins with my angel in blue jeans
There's no place I'd rather be than with her
Down County Road 123
