Mary Chapin Carpenter - One Small Heart Lyrics
Call the folks, leave a note, lock the Doors and windowsPack the truck, here's to luckHere’s to how the wind blowsNow lose the map and compassNow read the signs obey the linesFollow all your hunches'Cause now it's just the open roadOne small heart and a great big soul that's drivingRadio singing low just like a true companionL.A.'s lights wavy bright, they follow like a lanternThen morning comes and desert sunRises like redemptionAnother day to make your way from answerBack to questionOut here on the open roadOne small heart and a great big soul that's drivingNo set of directions, no shortcutsJust some empty soda cans,Some cigarette buttsThe key to traveling light is to Not need very muchLate tonight you'll see the lights of aThousand stars above youAnd at a roadside stop you’llCall to talk to a voiceBack home that swears to love youBut at the sound of the tone you’llHang up the phoneAnd peel out of that jointYou might try again God knows when;At least they got the pointThey lost you to the open road, one small heartAnd a great big soul That's driving, drivingOut here on the open roadOne small heart and a great big soul that's driving
