Highway in My Heart

[Intro]

Dust on my boots

Sun in my eyes

One small suitcase

All of my lives

[Verse 1]

Border town coffee

Name on a cup that they can’t quite say

Call from my mother

Dropping her prayers through the static and rain

Old songs in my pocket

Folded-up maps from a world gone strange

I walk through the terminal

Every goodbye rearranged

[Chorus]

I got a highway in my heart

Running through the dark

Through the daylight

Every mile

Another start

Every little scar feels like starlight

If I’m lost or torn apart

I just follow where the road signs are

I got a highway in my heart

And it’s carrying me to where you are (oh-oh)

[Verse 2]

Kids on the corner

Singing a tongue that I half recall

Laughing

They echo

Pieces of home that I thought I’d lost

Your voice in a voicemail

“Baby

Come back when the wind feels soft”

So I’m buying a ticket

Paying in hope and whatever it costs

[Chorus]

I got a highway in my heart

Running through the dark

Through the daylight

Every mile

Another start

Every little scar feels like starlight

If I’m lost or torn apart

I just follow where the road signs are

I got a highway in my heart

And it’s carrying me to where you are (to where you are)

[Bridge]

Every country

Same old moon

Every border

Same old tune (oh-oh)

Say your name to the night

I do

Till the sky sounds like you

[Chorus]

I got a highway in my heart

Running through the dark

Through the daylight

Every mile

Another start

Every little scar feels like starlight

If I’m lost or torn apart

I just follow where the road signs are

I got a highway in my heart

And it’s carrying me to where you are
