Evening sun slants across the road

Painting everything with gold

I'm headed for home, got a woman there

I can barely wait to hold

Got wind in my hair, got the heat inside

Heart jumping up and down

An empty head and a messed-up bed

I'll be floating just above the ground



(CHORUS:)

Great big love

Sweeping across the sky



Seen a lot of things in the world outside

Some bad but some good stuff too

Felt the touch of love in the works of God

And now and then in what people do

Never had a lot of faith in human beings

But sometimes we manage to shine

Like a light on a hill beaming out to space

From somewhere hard to find



(Chorus)



I ride and I shoot and I play guitar

And I like my life just fine

If you try to take one of these things from me

Then you're no friend of mine

Got a woman I love and she loves me

And we live on a piece of land

I never know quite how to measure these things

But I guess I'm a happy man



(Chorus)
