We hold hands in the movie show
So they say that we’re old fashioned
Or we stroll beneath the silv’ry moon, oo-oo-oo-oon
And we carve our initials in the old oak tree
That’s old fashioned, that’s the way love should be
We enjoy sitting side by side
In the booth in the ice cream parlor
Where we play the nickelodeon, ah-ah-ah-ahn
And we dance when we hear our favorite melody
That’s old fashioned, that’s the way love should be
It’s a modern changing world
Everything is moving fast
But when it comes to love I like
What they did in the past
I’m the kind who loves only one
So the boys say I’m old fashioned
Let them laugh, honey I don’t mi-i-i-i-ind
I’ve made plans for a wedding day for you and me
That’s old fashioned, that’s the way love should beNanci Griffith
Out of the blue horizon
Stretched a band of gold
From the straits of Juan de Fuca
To the east of Portland, Maine
You held my hand
As we raced along the buffalou bayou
Chasing the tail of this globe
You said babe one day we're bound to go
Cuz it takes two for the road
We're two of a kind heart
Closing in the distances
Now here comes our twilight part
And we've had the best light of our days
We're two rails that never crossed in anger
Voices never raised
Two of a kind heart
Two for the road
We have been blessed with dreaming
You had Georgia's New Mexico
And while your hands worked in China
It was from Ireland I wrote
Moving out from America
From those buffalo bayou trails
Now, didn't you tell me, babe, we'll have this globe
By its tail
It takes two for the road
We're two of a kind heart
Closing in the distances
Now here comes our twilight part
And we've had the best light of our days
We're two rails that never crossed in anger
Voices never raised
Two of a kind heart
Two for the road
And we can be anywhere and never leave home
With your hand to hold ... we are two for the road
Two of a kind heart ... two for the road
