lyrics

Dirty Windshield

Miles and miles down rutted roads
Years behind the wheel all told
Thought we’d find the rainbows end
In blacktop oil

Starry eyed we set out once
The windows down and you were young
The Rearview like a postcard
Of the fading sun

I never had direction
All I believed
You’d crack my dirty windshield
So I could see
You crack my dirty windshield
So I can see

Highway poems and lovers hearts
Desert dreams and small town rust
Said our prayers and wrote our vows
In dashboard dust

We watched the big sky turn at dusk
Stars came out like foundry sparks
Spent the night intwined
In truck stop parking lots

And when I woke each morning
All I believed…

Miles and miles all through a life
The infinite horizon line
The only map I’ll ever need’s
My baby’s eyes

Where the black top meets the sun
When this engine’s tired and done
I’ll lay down in the warm grass
With you in my arms

I’ll never need direction
All I believe…
