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)
