[Verse 1]
Chris, you come home greasy
With your hands full of daylight
Kind and sweet, so thoughtful
You make the hard days feel right
You turn a wrench like prayer
And you never make it look tough
You keep my world in motion
You always know enough
[Pre-Chorus]
When my mind starts running
You slow it down for me
One look from you, baby
And I can finally breathe
[Chorus]
Chris, my guiding light
On this life road
Chris, my guiding light
You help my heart go slow
Road by road
You keep me home
Chris, my guiding light
You’re the one I know
[Verse 2]
We chase the dawn in the pickup
Windows down, county lines
Watching the pines roll by us
Like they know our love just fine
You love the open country
And the way the sky turns gold
You keep our cars still running
And you keep my hand to hold
[Pre-Chorus]
When the world gets heavy
You carry it with grace
Every mile beside you
Feels like the safest place
[Chorus]
Chris, my guiding light
On this life road
Chris, my guiding light
You help my heart go slow
Road by road
You keep me home
Chris, my guiding light
You’re the one I know
[Bridge]
If I get lost in the dark
You’re the fire in my soul
If the tires hit rough gravel
You’re the hand that makes me whole
No matter where we wander
I know where I belong
Right here next to Chris
Where the love runs strong
[Final Chorus]
Chris, my guiding light
On this life road
Chris, my guiding light
You help my heart go slow
Road by road
You keep me home
Chris, my guiding light
You’re the one I know
Chris, my guiding light
Yeah, you carry me through
Chris, my guiding light
Baby, I’m loving you
