Josh Ritter - Blazing Highway Home Lyrics

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
