Lyrics

Chasin’ pavement down a westbound route,
Eatin’ breakfast by the light of the moon,
But this old rig, she’s hummin’ me a tune.
I play the aces hidden up my sleeve
Every time I have to leave;
I love runnin’ but I sure hate missin’ you.

Count the houses on the hills
They beg to be our home;
The road keeps me far from you, I know.
It’s been a long, long while
But our love’s measured in miles.
I’ll always find my way back to your arms.

Who knows what life is gonna throw our way,
So roll the dice, it’d be no less sane--
A blessing’s just a beautiful mistake.
So much for layin’ down tracks and plans,
You’re smile keeps me a workin’ man,
Just say the word I’ll sell it all for you.

Count the houses on the hills
They beg to be our home;
The road keeps me far from you, I know.
It’s been a long, long while
But our love’s measured in miles,
I’ll always find my way back to your arms.

Don’t worry now, we’ll keep it burning.
Don’t matter how, we’ll prove ‘em wrong.
‘Cause I don’t think we can help it,
We’re one right down to the bone,
Whichever roads we choose,
However the wind blows.

Count the houses on the hills
They beg to be our home;
The road keeps me far from you, I know.
It’s been a long, long while
But our love’s measured in miles,
I’ll always find my way back to your arms.
