Valentine's Day - Lucky 7

I’m driving a big lazy car rushin' up the highway in the dark

I got one hand steady on the wheel and one hand’s tremblin' over my heart

It’s pounding baby like it’s gonna bust right on through

And it ain’t gonna stop till I’m alone again with you

A friend of mine became a father last night

When we spoke in his voice I could hear the light

Of the skies and the rivers the timberwolf in the pines

And that great jukebox out on Route 39

They say he travels fastest who travels alone

But tonight I miss my baby tonight I miss my home

Is it the sound of the leaves

Left blown by the wayside

That’s got me out here on this spooky old highway tonight

Is it the cry of the river

With the moonlight shining through

That ain’t what scares me baby

What scares me is losing you

They say if you die in your dreams you really die in your bed

But honey last night I dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head

And God’s light came shinin' on through

I woke up scared and breathin' and born anew

It wasn’t the cold river bottom I felt rushing over me

It wasn’t the bitterness of a dream that didn’t come true

It wasn’t the wind in the grey fields I felt moving through my arms

No no baby, baby it was you

No no baby, baby it was you

Baby it was you

Baby it was you
