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
