Oh great mountain You won't be moving any time soon Over the blue, shimmering water It's the same moon Down on the eastern shore, So like home you feel you've been before Never left wanting more So lovely and familiar I love it that way, Constant sea I pray My heart's on the old highway Oh, my heart's on the old highway Prairies open wide Brilliant stars and biggest skies It's always there with sweet surprise I soak up the night The more you see The more you know Days move slow But the loneliness will leave you I love it that way Far as I can see any time of day My heart's on the old highway Oh, my heart's on the old highway The moon is high, the tides are low Seas roll and winds blow People come and people go But the loneliness will leave you The loneliness will leave you Oooh oooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh I miss home, I miss my momma I miss the babies too When I'm on the road, I'm out singing, Singing the play for you The more you see The more you know Days move slow But the loneliness will leave you The more you see The more you know Days move slow But the loneliness will leave you I love you that way Home and family I crave My heart's on the old highway Oh, my heart's on the old highway My heart's on the old highway Oh, my heart's on the old highway
