Lyrics
County Road 5
There’s an old red barn set back off County Road 5
Hidden from view, in need of repair
In our teenage years that’s where you and I would hide
When our troubles were too much to bear
In the loft were some old bales of hay
We’d climb up and drink our cares away
Summer nights, shooting stars, me and you, hungry hearts
Sharing dreams, hopes and fears, the whole world disappeared
Oh we spent so many nights
You and me out on County Road 5
It’s been ten long years, we’ve been through most everything
In this city, where we made our home
Then you wrote that note, I didn’t see it coming
You were tired of feeling alone
More or less, we were drifting apart
Let’s go back to where we got our start
Summer nights, shooting stars, me and you, hungry hearts
Sharing dreams, hopes and fears, the whole world disappeared
Oh we spent so many nights
You and me out on County Road 5
We couldn’t wait to leave that small town
Now we’re longing for the place we once called home
How we miss the old familiar sounds
And that old red barn set back off County Road
Summer nights, shooting stars, me and you, hungry hearts
Sharing dreams, hopes and fears, the whole world disappeared
Summer nights, shooting stars, me and you, a brand new start
Sharing dreams, hopes and fears, we’re so glad we came back here
Oh we love to spend our nights
You and me out on County Road 5
Yes we love to spend our nights
You and me out on County Road 5
