Halfway to Virginia Songtext / Lyric

May your god go with you, may your road be right
the singer's story came and passed sway into the night
just another signal, found and lost again
staring down fortune, in the high beams around the bend
build a ship of dreams of borrowed wood and nails
hold tight to the wheel when you hear the brakes fail
and Highway 64 is a diamond in time
and I'm halfway to Virginia when I cross the Indiana line
take my life and measure it in scales
take the miles, the sunshine and hail
I've seen roans and mares runnin' in open fields
bought and sold mainstreets, never knowing how to heal
last thing I heard, "don't show yourself in this town again"
and the hardness I carry, says the leavin' never ends
