[Verse 1]
She’s got a Bible by the bedside, pages worn and torn,
Prays for his safety every night, until the early morn.
He’s out on the highways, under endless Texas skies,
And she’s holding their love steady, while the distance multiplies.
[Verse 2]
Her hands are in the garden, planting seeds in the ground,
But her heart’s out there with him, where the engines’ songs resound.
Each mile he crosses cuts her deep like shards of glass,
But she’s holding onto hope that their love was built to last.
[Chorus]
She’s a good Christian woman with a heavy-hearted load,
Learning to love a man who’s married to the road.
Her prayers are her compass, her faith is her guide,
She’s waiting on his headlights to light the drive tonight.
[Verse 3]
Every month he makes it back, bringing dust upon his boots,
While she’s there to greet him, wearing love like Sunday suits.
But time feels like a stranger who steals her piece by piece,
While he chases diesel dreams, she longs for his release.
[Verse 4]
The highway calls him louder than she can ever sing,
And she wonders if the wedding band still means the same thing.
But deep inside her spirit, grace won’t let her go,
She whispers one more prayer, as he hits the road.
[Bridge]
There’s a battle in her heart between longing and belief,
Between the man she fell in love with, and this living in the grief.
But the Texas sunsets always seemed to give her peace,
A reminder love’s worth fighting for, no matter the streets.
