I was born in a factory town, where the steel don't shine no more My old man worked the line for thirty years, 'til they closed that door Got my boots, got my dreams, got this fire in my soul Gonna chase the sunset west, down that endless road We're highway hearts, running free tonight Chasing thunder, racing morning light With the radio screaming and our spirits high We're highway hearts, never asking why Just living for the moment, beneath these open skies She's got a smile that could light up the darkest night Says "Baby, don't look back now, we're gonna be alright" With her hand in mine and the wind in our hair We're two souls on fire, without a single care We're highway hearts, running free tonight Chasing thunder, racing morning light With the radio screaming and our spirits high We're highway hearts, never asking why Just living for the moment, beneath these open skies Maybe we won't find what we're searching for Maybe we'll get lost somewhere down this road But we've got each other, and that's all we need Two hearts beating as one, finally running free We're highway hearts, and we won't slow down Finding our salvation in every town With our dreams still burning and hope held high We're highway hearts, you and I Forever young beneath these American skies
