Lyrics

Headlights

When the road is long
Let the highway sing my song, yeah
When the stars grow dim
Let the headlights light my dawn, yeah

No passenger beside me
No lovers on this ride
The road ahead is winding and
The hammer close behind

Well, I moved so fast
That no one could see me pass
And my heart grew cold
And my story went untold

Once I rode a black horse
Headlights in my eyes
Dragging down a yellow moon
Just to bring it back to life

Yeah, my heart's insane
Let the money pave my way
Yeah, my heart's insane
Let the money pave my way, yeah

Once I rode a black horse
Water in my lungs
Flying down the interstate
Just to watch the colors run
