The Heart of the World

The highway looks like a silver ribbon
pulled from Asteria’s hair
The wheels beneath my feet are churning,
leading me west somewhere

I got a map and a fat suitcase,
A place I gotta be where I can’t be late
I got a plan and a head full of hustle
Using my muscle tryin’ to bend fate

The road goes on forever
and the sky goes on for twice as long
And between the two is how long I’ll love you
Just as long as the heart of the world beats on

It’s crazy these schemes, these dreams that we chase
tryin' to read the lines in our hands
Out making a living not making a killing
but making it the best we can

You’ve got the aim and you’ve got the light
make me ten times strong and twice as bright
sending me flying out for the stars
so far got me feelin’ alright

The road goes on forever
and the sky goes on for twice as long
And between the two is how long I’ll love you
Just as long as the heart of the world beats on

The road goes on forever
and the sky goes on for twice as long
And between the two is how long I’ll love you
Just as long as the heart of the world beats on
