Title:
“Highways and Heartstrings”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Driving down the highway, [C] chasing the sun,
[Em] Memories come to me, [D] one by one,
[G] Lost in the rearview, [C] our past has begun,
[Em] Highways stretch out like [D] heartstrings, never done.
(Chorus)
[G] Highways and heartstrings, [D] two paths intertwined,
[Em] You’re the road I’m on, [C] the destination I find,
[G] Heartbeats matching the hum, [D] tires against the grind,
[Em] With every mile, [C] you’re the peace I find.
(Verse 2)
[G] Chasing the horizon, [C] under the midnight moon,
[Em] Our love is the soundtrack, [D] the highway’s tune,
[G] City lights fading, [C] we’ll get there soon,
[Em] This journey, just us, [D] feels like a honeymoon.
(Chorus)
[G] Highways and heartstrings, [D] a melody so divine,
[Em] Each mile we cover, [C] your love is mine,
[G] The road may wind and turn, [D] but in the end, it’s fine,
[Em] Because with you, [C] every journey is a straight line.
