Starlight Highway

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)

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

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”

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

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

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
