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       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       Great big love   Sweeping across the sky       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       Great big love   Sweeping across the sky
