Real life , people and stories have always been the heart of country music. Todd Richard drops the "hammer down" with his latest release “Road Heart” and delivers his rich, dark vocals brilliantly on this up-tempo track about a long haul trucker "burning up the highway" trying to get home to his loved ones.
Hope you enjoy “Road Heart” as it keep's on rolling from ignition to shut-down
Worldwide distribution thru iTunes Canada & US.
Lyrics
*ROAD HEART
T. RICHARD & D. FOLKINS © 2015
I’M TRYING MY BEST TO MAKE IT HOME TONIGHT
BUT I’M STARING AT NOTHING BUT LINES OF BRAKE LIGHTS
I’VE GOT PICTURE HERE SMILING BACK AT ME
RIGHT IN YOUR ARMS IS WHERE I NEED TO BE
I’M SHAKING MY FIST CURSING AND HOPING
FOR A BREAK IN THE TRAFFIC WHEN THE LEFT LANE OPENS
*Chorus
HAMMER DOWN KEEP ON ROLLING
DRIVING THIS RIG LIKE IT’S STOLEN
NOTHING BUT YOU ON MY MIND
I’LL RUN ALL NIGHT SO I CAN SEE
THAT PORCH LIGHT YOU LEFT ON FOR ME
AND HOLD YOU CLOSE ONE MORE TIME
ALL THESE MILES KEEP WEARING HARD
ON MY ROAD HEART
BURNING UP THAT HIGHWAY THESE HOURS CRAWLING BY
MY TIRES TEARING UP EVERY YELLOW LINE
ALL THESE COUNTRY SONGS REMIND ME OF YOUR LIPS
I’D GO TEN THOUSAND MILES FOR A SINGLE KISS
I CAN ALMOST TOUCH YOU I DON’T NEED NO MAP
I’M ON THE HOME STRETCH AND I’M CLOSING THE GAP
*Chorus
HAMMER DOWN KEEP ON ROLLING
DRIVING THIS RIG LIKE IT’S STOLEN
NOTHING BUT YOU ON MY MIND
I’LL RUN ALL NIGHT SO I CAN SEE
THAT PORCH LIGHT YOU LEFT ON FOR ME
AND HOLD YOU CLOSE ONE MORE TIME
ALL THESE MILES KEEP WEARING HARD
ON MY ROAD HEART
BRIDGE: ALL THIS TIME AWAY FROM YOU IS KILLING ME
*Chorus
HAMMER DOWN KEEP ON ROLLING
DRIVING THIS RIG LIKE IT’S STOLEN
NOTHING BUT YOU ON MY MIND
I’LL RUN ALL NIGHT SO I CAN SEE
THAT PORCH LIGHT YOU LEFT ON FOR ME
AND HOLD YOU CLOSE ONE MORE TIME
ALL THESE MILES KEEP WEARING HARD
ALL THESE MILES KEEP WEARING HARD
ON MY ROAD HEART (X4)
