Lyrics Josh Ritter

Josh Ritter

Blazing Highway Home

Chasing thunder, chasing lightning too

You never wondered what they thought of you

You know you can't outrun the great unknown

May you find yourself a blazing highway home

Somewhere the high cliffs, somewhere the waves hit white

The wind in it's mischief, the palace of rainbows

I will be here watching you though you may feel alone

While you find yourself a blazing highway home

I try to sleep

Searching the darkness for something

Your soul to keep

Here I am sleeping with nothing

Still St. Peter, you don't want to wait

Throw it in gear and roll on through those gates

And know no matter where your soul may roam

That you'll find yourself a blazing highway home

I try to sleep

Searching the darkness for something

Your soul to keep

Here I am sleeping with nothing

And may the angel sing you country songs

Your mama sang you back when days were long

More beautiful than anything you've known

While you find yourself a blazing highway home

I try to sleep

Searching the darkness for something

Your soul to keep

Here I am sleeping with nothing
