Lyrics
Long road, long road, golden dust Motel sign says vacancy I carry a small bag and a big old hope And the stars are keeping me company One more night, one more mile Quiet moon and a tired smile Leave the light on, desert road Leave the light on, I'm coming home Wind in my hair and the sky wide open Leave the light on, I'm not alone Morning paints the mountains pink Coffee steams on the motel rail I think of the ones I love far away And the sunrise tells me, don't fail One more night, one more mile Quiet moon and a tired smile Leave the light on, desert road Leave the light on, I'm coming home Wind in my hair and the sky wide open Leave the light on, I'm not alone Slow down, slow down, let the sun come in Soft and warm on my skin Let it in, let it in Leave the light on, desert road Leave the light on, I'm coming home Wind in my hair and the sky wide open Leave the light on, I'm not alone Leave the light on Desert road, I'm coming home
