[Verse 1]
The open road unrolling
And you in reach beside me
And a very chatty monkey
Fast asleep behind me
And the mountains rose before us
Noble brass for the chorus
And we talk of country kindness
As we put some miles behind us
[Chorus]
And I guess we'll get to Inverness tonight
And I've lined a piper up just to make you cry
And the moon shows up to roll around our sky
And I've never been so sure
That I was right where I should be
In my whole life
[Verse 2]
Oh, I didn't see you coming
But now I'm nowt without you
You're the cooling glassy water
That feeds the trees about you
And the only road I know now
Is you and I together
And the little heart we started
Picks up that beat forever
[Chorus]
And I guess we'll get to Inverness tonight
And I've lined a piper up just to make you cry
And the moon shows up to roll around our sky
And I've never been so sure
That I was right where I should be
In my whole life
And I've never been so sure
That I was right where I should be
In my whole life
