Follow That Road Songtext
von Anne Hills

If you′re coming in the summer you'd be better to split off on 35
There′s The Starlite Drive-in Movie
On the left just beyond the county line
Right after that you'll see two silos, one is silver, one is blue
'Bout a quarter mile further make a left onto Highway 42

Then follow that road
Cornfields just as far as you can see
Follow that road
Back through time, back through distance, back to me

If you′re drivin′ by in autumn you
Should follow up the river to Bear Lake
That's the time to see the colors,
There′s an old covered bridge you'll want to take
Late at night be careful,
Just be sure to look 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 stop 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

So 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 at night
You must know how much I miss you
And that any way you get here is alright


So follow that road
Wildflowers just as far as you can see
Follow that road
Back through time, back through distance, back to me
