Dave Van Ronk - Heart on the Run lyrics

I drove Route 66 fueled on wine and prayer I rode the rails at night and drank away my cares I joined the circus set fire in my mouth Chased the holy light and took my troubles south I've seen the ancient mariner stalked by the beast The ancient warrior seeking visions in the east Lonesome travelers and chronicles left home Strangers in a stranger land whose luck has turned to stone The roads like dreaming It's worth its wait in gold And I'm a dreamer My soul will not be sold Feet on the highway And a head bound to the sun Home's where the heart is, and my heart is on the run Home's where the heart is, and my heart is on the run So I'll take the road not taken On the path that leads to hell Walk the good night loving trail By the hill where Jesus fell And Heaven's just a stairway away I can go anywhere when there's no where left to stay The roads like dreaming It's worth its wait in gold And I'm a dreamer My soul will not be sold Feet on the highway Head bound to the sun Home's where the heart is, and my heart is on the run Home's where the heart is, and my heart is on the run
