Heart On The Run Songtext
I drove Route 66 fueled on wine and prayer



I rode the rails at night and drank away my cares



I joined the circus set fire in my mouth


Chased the holy light and took my troubles south



I've seen the ancient mariner stalked by the beast



The ancient warrior seeking visions in the east



Lonesome travelers and chronicles left home



Strangers in a stranger land whose luck has turned to stone


The roads like dreaming



It's worth its wait in gold



And I'm a dreamer



My soul will not be sold



Feet on the highway



And a head bound to the sun



Home's where the heart is, and my heart is on the run



Home's where the heart is, and my heart is on the run



So I'll take the road not taken



On the path that leads to hell



Walk the good night loving trail



By the hill where Jesus fell



And Heaven's just a stairway away



I can go anywhere when there's no where left to stay



The roads like dreaming



It's worth its wait in gold



And I'm a dreamer



My soul will not be sold



Feet on the highway



Head bound to the sun



Home's where the heart is, and my heart is on the run



Home's where the heart is, and my heart is on the run
