When the road is long Let the highway sing my song When the stars grow dim Let the headlights light my dawn 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 Once I rode a black horse Water in my lungs Flying down the interstate Just to watch the colors run
