• Heartbeat Highway

  👀: 4

  (Verse 1)
  I’ve been ridin’ these dusty backroads
  Chasin’ a ghost in the rearview glow
  Just a lonesome echo in a two-step town
  Till the day your sunshine came around

  You’re the one I dreamed of
  Through every empty mile and neon sign
  You’re the one I dreamed of
  And now this lost heart’s finally on the line

  (Chorus)
  I’ve been waiting all my life for a woman like you
  With your heart of gold shinin’ truer than a West Texas sky
  And those sexy dreamy eyes that make this old boy want to try
  Yeah, I’ve been waiting all my life for a woman like you
  And now that you’re here, I’m never lettin’ go
  Just you and me and the radio

  (Verse 2)
  I’ve seen my share of faded love songs
  Played on jukeboxes, all turned out wrong
  But you walked in like a slow-burn rhyme
  And rewrote this heart before closing time

  You’re the one I dreamed of
  When the steel guitar cried in the dark
  You’re the one I dreamed of
  Now every beat’s a spark

  (Chorus)
  I’ve been waiting all my life for a woman like you
  With your heart of gold shinin’ truer than a West Texas sky
  And those sexy dreamy eyes that make this old boy want to try
  Yeah, I’ve been waiting all my life for a woman like you
  And now that you’re here, I’m never lettin’ go
  Just you and me and the radio

  (Bridge)
  No more lonely highways, no more empty bars
  Just your hand in mine beneath a blanket of stars
  You’re the melody I’ve been hummin’ since I don’t know when
  And I’ll keep singin’ it over and over again

  (Guitar Solo – twangy, soulful, with a little slide)

  (Chorus)
  I’ve been waiting all my life for a woman like you
  With your heart of gold shinin’ truer than a West Texas sky
  And those sexy dreamy eyes that make this old boy want to try
  Yeah, I’ve been waiting all my life for a woman like you

  (Outro)
  Yeah, darlin’, you’re the one…
  The dream I’ve been holdin’ onto…
  My heart of gold…
  My sexy dreamy eyes…
  Just you and me and the radio…
  Fadin’ out on this heartbeat highway…

• Highway Heart

  👀: 6

  (Verse 1)
  Left Tulsa with a tank of gas and a half-broke radio
  A map folded on the dash, nowhere special I was gonna go
  Just chasing that white-line fever, a little restless in my bones
  ‘Til I saw those Georgia pines, and a sign said “Welcome to Rome”

  (Chorus)
  Yeah, I was a tumbleweed rolling with the wind
  A lone guitar with a slightly bent string
  But the road don’t feel so long, and the miles don’t seem so mean
  When you find your missing melody in a Georgia sunbeam
  I was just passin’ through, lookin’ for a view
  But the view I found was you… in a pair of old blue jeans

  (Verse 2)
  She was humming Patsy Cline, wiping down a diner countertop
  Said, “The pie’s a dollar-fifty, but the coffee’s free ’til we stop”
  Her smile was a tractor beam, pulled my truck right off the asphalt
  Next thing I know I’m ordering seconds, falling fast and that’s a fact

  (Chorus)
  Yeah, I was a tumbleweed rolling with the wind
  A lone guitar with a slightly bent string
  But the road don’t feel so long, and the miles don’t seem so mean
  When you find your missing melody in a Georgia sunbeam
  I was just passin’ through, lookin’ for a view
  But the view I found was you… in a pair of old blue jeans

  (Bridge)
  We talked ’til the neon buzzed on, she loved Merle and George Jones
  I played her a lick I’d been workin’ on, right there on the patio
  She tapped her boot on the wooden floor, and I knew right then and there
  My destination wasn’t a city, it was the twinkle in her stare

  (Guitar Solo)
  Up-tempo, joyful country-rock guitar solo with some hot licks, building in energy.

  (Chorus)
  Now I’m a settled-down man with a permanent grin!
  A six-string ringin’, a new life beginnin’!
  ‘Cause the road led me right where I was always s’posed to be
  To my own sweet melody, my Georgia sunbeam
  I wasn’t passin’ through, I was comin’ home
  The minute I saw you… in those old blue jeans!

  (Outro)
  Yeah, the highway’s in my rearview now…
  Got a white-picket rhythm and a sweetheart vow…
  Oh, my Georgia sunbeam…
  Keep shinin’ on me…
  (Up-tempo guitar riff fades out)
