growing up on the outside, looking hard at the world
they fell in love on the backseat in the heat of the night, yeah
one tough lead to another, now she's having a child
ain't a whole lot of choices
ain't a whole lot of hope
so they run (hearts on the highway)
one to one (hearts on the highway)
two hearts on the run
living moment to moment on the strength of a dream
the fight with a vengeance for what they believe
though she puts on a brave face she can't hide her fear, yeah
he pulls her close and whispers he loves her
that's all she needs to hear
ain't a whole lot of choices
ain't a whole lot of hope
so they run (hearts on the highway)
one to one (hearts on the highway)
now they roll the dice, looking for a seven
pay the price, searching for heavens door
but they're not so sure they'll ever find it
ain't a whole lot of choices
ain't a whole lot of hope
run (hearts on the highway) yeah
