lyrics

I come from a long, long line of headstrong women
You said when you opened the door, are you out are you in
You’re the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen I said with a grin

Each day you take my breath away
And night begets another moon
The sun rises on your face
And I sing another tune

Well, you’re hitting the road with me, are you OK with that
You said wherever you are baby I wanna be where that’s at
You’re the love I been looking for and I got your back

Each day you take my breath away
And night begets another moon
The sun rises on your face
And I sing another tune

Speaking of roads and headstrong women, tell me when did the time
Sneak up beside us like a crime

You and I and our souls long entwined, and all of our will
Crossed many state and fault lines, once or twice through hell
And all the while our love was a ladder step by step we built

Each day you take my breath away
And night begets another moon
The sun rises on your face
And I sing another tune
