Looking for Her Smile

I’ve been driving down these dirt roads, kicking up the dust,

Searching for a heart that I can learn to trust.

Through neon lights and honky-tonk nights,

Hoping love will find me under these stars so bright.

Stopped by the diner where the coffee’s always strong,

Asked the waitress if she’s seen where I belong.

She laughed and said, “Boy, it’s a winding trail,

But keep your boots moving, and you might just prevail.”

I’m looking for her smile in a crowd of faces,

Through the backroads and the open spaces.

Every turn I take, I’m hoping it’s true,

That love’s out there waiting, and I’ll find her soon.

The jukebox plays a tune I’ve heard before,

About a love that walks right through your door.

I tip my hat and pay my dues,

Still chasing a dream, got nothing to lose.

The moonlight whispers, “Boy, just hold on tight,

You’ll find her shadow in the soft twilight.”

The wind’s got a rhythm, the trees start to sway,

Telling me love’s just a heartbeat away.

I’m looking for her smile in a crowd of faces,

Through the backroads and the open spaces.

Every turn I take, I’m hoping it’s true,

That love’s out there waiting, and I’ll find her soon.
