Heart Of It

Driving the highway back home
There’s a calm out here I can’t describe
Golden sunset bouncing off the dash
Baby I’m home at last

Yeah the tires fit the tracks
Two lines etched in the laneway back
Tall grasses running alongside
This occupied piece of countryside

Baby you’re the heart of it
Baby you’re the heart of it
Baby you’re the heart of it
I just want to be a part of it

The descending hum of the tires
I turn thе radio down as I get close
Sun flare off an Adirondack chair
Hunny I’m back, baby I’m hеre

I’ll pull in by the barn door
The well worn spot I parked before
Windows open, screen door to the house
This is the place I dreamt about

Baby you’re the heart of it
Baby you’re the heart of it
Baby you’re the heart of it
I just want to be a part of it

The truck slows on the highway near the farm
Steadying rattle of the engine
Turned my indicator on, wheel to the right
Chasing the bouncing beam of the headlight

Porch railings painted the trim last summer
There’s that light bulb we keep dancing under
When the kids are in bed and the dogs are fed
I’ll hang on every word that you said

Baby you’re the heart of it
Baby you’re the heart of it
Baby you’re the heart of it
I just want to be a part of it
