Lyric

I’ve been ridin’ these blue highwaysAnother night has made me stopMy weary bones can go no fartherAnd here is where they’ll drop
In my dreams your arms will find meThey will hold me through the nightThen release me to my journeyAs another day grows light
I’ve got so many miles to goAnd promises to keepRight now all I want to doIs be anywhere on earth you are
I have always been a gypsyAnd the road calls me to roamBut each day brings me closerTo the place where we call home
Still got so many miles to goAnd promises to keepRight now all I want to doIs be anywhere on earth you are
In my dreams your arms will find meThey will hold me through the nightRight now all I want to doIs be anywhere on earth you are
