Twilight Road

Oh, hey girl, where you goin'?
Oh, hey girl, where you been?
Time to choose a direction,
Time to choose forever again.

Got to head into the twilight,
Or else run into the dawn.
Hurry up and pick now,
Where will you belong?

I grab the reins of my metal horses,
Mount the saddle, and sing as I ride.
'Cause I'm not choosing pathways,
I won't leave a world behind.

Ooh-ee-oo, the daylight world's a wonder.
Aah-dee-aye, the nighttime will amaze.
With the sunset on my left,
And the full moon on my right,
I point myself right down the middle,
Laugh, and enjoy my life.

And this is where I'm going,
And this is where I've been.
And this who I'm becoming,
Another day to begin.

I'm heading into twilight,
I'm running to the dawn.
Along the road I'm riding,
And the road ahead is long.

And not one of them could tame me,
Face to the wind, I travel on.
No matter the wild ways and wild places,
Dare my wild heart and wild song.

'Cause,
Oh my soul, the daylight world's a wonder.
And my eyes, the nighttime will amaze.
With sunset on my left side,
And the full moon on my right,
I'll go right down the middle,
Laugh and live my life.

But the sunlight fades to grey, girl,
And the moon is setting fast.
This wayward, mulish willing
Put you on a road that never lasts.

But the sun'll come with morning,
And the moon will rise as high.
Between times I'll be smiling,
Stars'll always fill the sky.
