[Verse 1]
Dust on the dashboard
Coffee gone cold
Mile after mile
Chasing what I sold
Your note in the visor
Creased and worn thin
Says “drive till you’re ready
Then come back again”
[Chorus]
On this yellow ribbon road
Tied around my heart like you tied it to that tree
Every turn I take
Pulls your memory out of me
If you’re standing in the yard
I’ll know I’m not alone
Just one bright thread
On the yellow ribbon road
Leading me home
[Verse 2]
Radio fading
Static and sky
I practice my sorry
Till I almost cry
I see our old exit
Blue sign up ahead
I slow for the questions
Race for what you said
[Chorus]
On this yellow ribbon road
Tied around my heart like you tied it to that tree
Every turn I take
Pulls your memory out of me
If you’re standing in the yard
I’ll know I’m not alone
Just one bright thread
On the yellow ribbon road
Leading me home
[Bridge]
Porch light glowing
Screen door swing
If you open your arms
I’ll drop everything
If it’s empty and quiet
I’ll still leave this key
Hang it where you tied
That ribbon for me
[Chorus]
On this yellow ribbon road
Tied around my heart like you tied it to that tree
Every turn I take
Pulls your memory out of me
If you’re standing in the yard
I’ll know I’m not alone
Just one bright thread
On the yellow ribbon road
Leading me home
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
On this yellow ribbon road
Tied around my heart like you tied it to that tree
Every turn I take
Pulls your memory out of me
If you’re standing in the yard
I’ll know I’m not alone
Just one bright thread
On the yellow ribbon road
Leading me home
[Outro]
On the yellow ribbon road
Leading me home
