00:00She was born in a barn off of Highway 10 Where the wheat fields dance in the summer wind
00:19Daddy drove trucks, mama worked the line She grew up tough with a heart like mine
00:26Met her one night at a rodeo fair Dust on her boots, white wind in her hair
00:32She said, you look like you've been broke Before I smiled and said, yeah, but I still want more
00:39We talked till the stars went out Danced in the dark with the speakers loud
00:45She said, this world's too wide to stay in one place But I saw forever when I looked at her face
00:52So ride with me down this heartland highway Through diesel dreams and sunset skyways
00:59Where the grit in your soul means more than gold And love is fire that never gets old
01:05From the backwoods to the neon dawn We'll keep on running and country on
01:12Yeah, girl, hold tight We're too far gone
01:15This ain't just living It's where we belong
01:19Country on
01:22Country on
01:29Country on
01:30Old Jake's at the bar with a tear in his beard Twenty years on the line Still shifting the gears
01:42His wife left a note by the old screen door But he keeps hauling hope down I-64
01:48There's Johnny the ranch hand roping at dawn Scars on his hands but his heart's holding strong
01:55A photo of his girl in his saddlebag Every mile closer brings her back
02:01They're the ones you won't see on the news But they carry the flag in their worn-out boots
02:08Building dreams with callous tans Keeping this broken country standing
02:14So ride with me down this heartland highway Through diesel dreams and sunset skyways
02:20Where the grit in your soul means more than gold And love is fire that never gets old
02:27From the backwoods to the neon dawn We'll keep on running and country on
02:33Yeah, girl, hold tight We're too far gone
02:36This ain't just living It's where we belong
02:43Country on
02:50Country on
02:57Underneath the same wide open sky We find each other you and I Like fireflies
03:05In the sweet July Burning bright till the day we die
03:10Now she's wearing my ring And driving my truck
03:13Little boots in the backseat Full of mud
03:16We got land and a porch And a Friday night song
03:20We build a life where we both belong
03:25So ride with us down this heartland highway Where the stars still shine
03:30And the good folks pray Where love is loud
03:33And the nights run long And you fight like hell
03:36Just to hold on From the bonfires to the break of dawn
03:41We raise our hands and country on Yeah, we don't stop
03:46We're too far gone This is our anthem
03:50This is our song
