One Small Heart

Lyrics

Call the folks, leave a note, lock the doors and windows
 ♪
 Pack the truck, here's to luck, here's to how the wind blows
 ♪
 Got the cash, got the gas, now lose the map and compass
 Now read the signs, obey the lines, follow all your hunches
 'Cause now it's just an the open road
 One small heart and a great big soul that's driving
 ♪
 Radio singing low just like a true companion
 ♪
 L.A.'s lights wavy bright, they follow like a lantern
 ♪
 Then morning comes and desert sun rises like redemption
 Another day to make your way from answer back to question
 Out here on the open road
 One small heart and a great big soul that's driving
 ♪
 No set of directions, no shortcuts
 Just some empty soda cans, some cigarette butts
 The key to traveling light is to not need very much
 ♪
 Late tonight you'll see the lights of a thousand stars above you
 ♪
 And at a roadside stop you'll call to talk to a voice back home that swears they love you
 ♪
 But at the sound of the tone you'll hang up the phone and peel out of that joint
 You'll try again, God knows when; at least they got the point
 They lost you to the open road, one small heart and a great big soul
 That's driving, driving
 Out here on the open road
 One small heart and a great big soul that's driving
