[Verse 1] Gas tank half full, asphalt wide and black Two headlights cutting through the midnight air Not looking back at the shadows in the glass Leaving the static in the rear-view mirror there I don't need a marker on a folded page To tell me where the line is drawn Just the rhythm of the lines passing by And a faint trace of the dawn [Chorus] Hands on the wheel, eyes on the light Rolling through the long shadow of the night No map—just one more faithful mile Holding onto what is real for a little while We don't need to know where the blacktop ends Just keep turning where the highway bends Hands on the wheel, eyes on the light [Verse 2] Doubt comes calling when the hours grow late Asking questions that I can't answer now A sudden fork in the gravel and the stone Trying to make me lose my focus somehow I press my thumb to the leather rim Feel the pulse in my own steady wrist The wind is howling against the iron frame Pushing hard through the heavy mist [Chorus] Hands on the wheel, eyes on the light Rolling through the long shadow of the night No map—just one more faithful mile Holding onto what is real for a little while We don't need to know where the blacktop ends Just keep turning where the highway bends Hands on the wheel, eyes on the light [Bridge] [Soaring Vocal Harmonies] It's not about the shore where the river flows It's the strength of the current while the water goes Let the destination wait for another day We forge the answer along the way! [Guitar Solo] [Controlled Crescendo - Dynamic Surge] [Chorus] [Full Power - Soaring Vocals] Hands on the wheel, eyes on the light! Rolling through the long shadow of the night! No map—just one more faithful mile Holding onto what is real for a little while We don't need to know where the blacktop ends Just keep turning where the highway bends Hands on the wheel, eyes on the light [Outro] One more mile... Just one more faithful mile. Keep your eyes on the light. [Fade Out]
