(Verse 1)
I’ve been ridin’ these dusty backroads
Chasin’ a ghost in the rearview glow
Just a lonesome echo in a two-step town
Till the day your sunshine came around
You’re the one I dreamed of
Through every empty mile and neon sign
You’re the one I dreamed of
And now this lost heart’s finally on the line
(Chorus)
I’ve been waiting all my life for a woman like you
With your heart of gold shinin’ truer than a West Texas sky
And those sexy dreamy eyes that make this old boy want to try
Yeah, I’ve been waiting all my life for a woman like you
And now that you’re here, I’m never lettin’ go
Just you and me and the radio
(Verse 2)
I’ve seen my share of faded love songs
Played on jukeboxes, all turned out wrong
But you walked in like a slow-burn rhyme
And rewrote this heart before closing time
You’re the one I dreamed of
When the steel guitar cried in the dark
You’re the one I dreamed of
Now every beat’s a spark
(Chorus)
I’ve been waiting all my life for a woman like you
With your heart of gold shinin’ truer than a West Texas sky
And those sexy dreamy eyes that make this old boy want to try
Yeah, I’ve been waiting all my life for a woman like you
And now that you’re here, I’m never lettin’ go
Just you and me and the radio
(Bridge)
No more lonely highways, no more empty bars
Just your hand in mine beneath a blanket of stars
You’re the melody I’ve been hummin’ since I don’t know when
And I’ll keep singin’ it over and over again
(Guitar Solo – twangy, soulful, with a little slide)
(Chorus)
I’ve been waiting all my life for a woman like you
With your heart of gold shinin’ truer than a West Texas sky
And those sexy dreamy eyes that make this old boy want to try
Yeah, I’ve been waiting all my life for a woman like you
(Outro)
Yeah, darlin’, you’re the one…
The dream I’ve been holdin’ onto…
My heart of gold…
My sexy dreamy eyes…
Just you and me and the radio…
Fadin’ out on this heartbeat highway…
