Tapping my toes to the rhythm of the sunset
Counting my blessings listening to the river flow
When she told be ‘bout a place called over the horizon
And said no matter how far you run you can never go
I was down for the challenge so we loaded up the wagon
Running on fumes and a busted old radio
Trying to sing along to Chinese Translation
Circling the want ads hoping we could pan for gold
There were days we thought we may never
Make it past these Great Smoky Mountains
See the lights of Nashville, Tennessee
Life sang to us and we sang along ‘til we run out of road
We found a little luck across the Mississippi
In the shadows of the horseheads along the Oklahoma plains
Greeted by the golden California coastline
Staring up at the moonlight of San Simeon on the hood of this Chevrolet
Repeat Chorus
Came across a preacher somewhere along the highway
His work it was to try to save a soul
He told me the story of Samson and Delilah
And said, “Man, you better make a plan, she’s up to no good, ya know”
I said, preacher, you may not believe this but I’ve already
Been across the Great Smokey Mountains
Seen the lights from sea to shining sea
When life sang to me I sang along ‘til I run out of road
