Lyrics
Out where the corn meets the sky
I roll through towns that never say goodbye
A diner's sign flickers in the night
Coffee and pie, two bucks buys a slice
The wheels hum low, like a song they know
And the stars stretch wide where the highways go
Rolling down I-80, chasing dreams half-shady
From Cheyenne's winds to Ohio's rains
A thousand miles of hoping, the road's still open
And the heart keeps beating in the passing lanes
A truck stop preacher hands me a card
Says, "Son, don't let life get too hard."
But the rig's tail lights fade into the black
And the gospel gets lost on a worn-out track
I watch the dawn break soft on the plains
Each mile a verse, each exit a refrain
Rolling down I-80, chasing dreams half-shady
From Cheyenne's winds to Ohio's rains
A thousand miles of hoping, the road's still open
And the heart keeps beating in the passing lanes
Toll booths count the cost of every mile
But the road pays back in memories worthwhile
Billboards shout of places I'll never go
But I've got this lane, and it's all I know
Rolling down I-80, chasing dreams half-shady
From Cheyenne's winds to Ohio's rains
A thousand miles of hoping, the road's still open
And the heart keeps beating in the passing lanes
