Ann Arbor to Up North Atlanta (Hanson)

I took the life line north across the heart line.
Left the cities in my mirror for the great, tall pines.
There is a sign there that marks the place where
this town is connected to my home.

It’s a long, slow drive up here on the 75,
and this road is playing tricks on my mind.
Gas-station coffee and the wind upon my face
are the only things keeping me awake.

Chorus:
And, if I could, you know I would
rest upon your road.
I’ve got a heavy load riding on my name.
Tuck me into your hand-knit heart.
Light my weary way.

More than a thousand wrecks have been counted
on these rough, inland seas.
Oh, we are lightning for a moment, and then, we are
just stardust on the breeze.

Chorus:
And, if I could, you know I would
rest upon your road.
I’ve got a heavy load riding on my name.
Tuck me into your hand-knit heart.
Light my weary way.
Oh-oh, tuck me into your hand-knit heart.
Light my weary way.
