Lyrics
Mountain road at midnight, headlights bend the dark Every turn a whisper, every curve a spark Radio is fading, static in the pines Thinking 'bout your voice and how it still replies Round and round we climb now Slow down, slow down Switchback, switchback, sing me home Hold the wheel and hold the tone Every turn I'm turning to you Switchback lullaby, see me through Switchback, switchback, sing me home I'm never really driving alone Guardrail catching moonlight, silver in the haze Valley lights below me like a thousand little days Thermos going lukewarm, window cracked an inch Cold air tastes like promise, I don't mind the pinch Round and round we climb now Slow down, slow down Switchback, switchback, sing me home Hold the wheel and hold the tone Every turn I'm turning to you Switchback lullaby, see me through Switchback, switchback, sing me home I'm never really driving alone Top of the pass, the world goes still Breath on the glass, a quiet thrill Nothing to prove and nowhere to be Just the dark and the hum and me Switchback, switchback, sing me home Hold the wheel and hold the tone Every turn I'm turning to you Switchback lullaby, see me through Switchback, switchback, sing me home I'm never really driving alone Sing me home Sing me home
