Starlight Highway

[Verse 1]
Left my little town in a rusted rover
Red dust on the dash, old map folded over
Chasin’ every rumor of a brighter star
Chipped paint, big dreams, and a busted radar
Dockside bar on a blue moon station
Met a crew of thieves with a bad reputation
They said, “Boy, this road will take all you got”
I just tipped my hat and I took my shot (hey)
[Chorus]
I’ve been ridin’ that starlight highway
Past the rings, through the dark and the unknown
Every battle, every broken skyway
Led me farther from the place I called home
But every scar, every mile that I get through
Keeps drivin’ me closer to you
On this long, long starlight highway
I finally found my home
[Verse 2]
Got jumped by pirates near the crimson cluster
Old hull shakin’ under laser thunder
They laughed when they saw my worn-out rig
Till I cut the power, let the engine dig
Drifted in the dark where the wrecks stay sleeping
Thought that was the end, just my heartbeat keeping
Then a voice came through, soft, steady and kind
Said, “Hold on tight, I’m right on your line”
[Chorus]
We’ve been ridin’ that starlight highway
Past the rings, through the dark and the unknown
Every battle, every broken skyway
Led us farther from the place we called home
But every scar, every mile that we get through
Keeps pullin’ my heart into view
On this long, long starlight highway
I finally found my home with you
[Bridge]
Now there’s boots in the hall and a laugh in the galley (oh yeah)
A picture on the dash of our ragtag family
Orphans of a thousand lonely moons
Singin’ out of tune, but we made our own room
[Chorus]
Now we’re ridin’ this starlight highway
Hand in hand through the dark and the glow
Every battle, every twisted byway
Just another story that we’ll both know
‘Cause every scar, every mile that we get through
Turns this road into something true
On this long, long starlight highway
Anywhere with you is home

Smooth country
