Heartstrings and Highways
Mary Thompson


Got my suitcase packed and my boots on tight
Chasing the sun through the fading night
The open road's calling like an old sweet song
I'm dancing to the rhythm where I belong
Heartstrings and highways pulling me along
Every mile's a melody singing me strong
Dusty winds whisper while the engine hums
Heartstrings and highways I'm never done
Radio crackles with a tune so bright
Fingers tap the wheel to the beat just right
The stars up above They wink and shine
Telling me the journey's gonna be just fine
Heartstrings and highways pulling me along
Every mile's a melody singing me strong
Dusty winds whisper while the engine hums
Heartstrings and highways I'm never done
Towns blur by in a patchwork dream Rivers run wild
And the skies all gleam
Every twist and turn feels like a clue
To a life that's golden A love brand new
Laughter and longing mix in the air
Freedom's a partner that's always there
I'll take the bends and the curves with grace
Heartstrings and highways My happy place
