Heart

On the road home, got the radio on
And all the miles are running by
Like so many songs, you and I, on the road home
Thoughtless in our travelin', lovers in our soul
Oh, oh, the highway runs so clear
Oh, oh, the river from there to here
I'll tell you a story from the heart and from the bone
And I will tell you everything on, oh

On the road home, in the early spring
Locked up in my silence, alone with everything
But no, no, oh, you said no, no, no, no
And if you find the words won't come
Just you stand and sing

And oh, oh, the highway runs so clear
Oh, oh, the river from there to here
You know I love singin' it, the silence cites his own
And now we've put the same on the road

On the road home, yeah, goin' home

On the road home, we see the yellow moon rise
And I feel what you are feelin' 'coz you see it with your eyes
You see sweet romance, your sweet love song
Standin' in that moonlight, two hearts can't be wrong

Oh, oh, la la la la, oh, oh, la la la la
Oh, oh, la la la la la la la la, la la

On the road home, I'm goin' home
Yeah, goin' home, on the road home
On the road home

Heart, lead by Ann and Nancy Wilson, is considered a — or the — Grand Dame of hard rock and heavy metal.

Not only do they have more hit singles and AOR tracks than most other bands (songs we’d go over in detail but they’re listed on this very page in order of popularity) but in some ways deeper respect than many, both for their own groundbreaking talent and appeal and some unusual recognition thereof, including having been picked to perform Stairway to Heaven for Led Zeppelin themselves at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012, making Robert Plant and company actually cry. Not Rush, not Aerosmith, nor any of the other bands beloved rock/metal that — along with Ann and Nancy’s band — followed Zeppelin by one generation. Just Heart.

Starting in the mid seventies, Heart forged a unique and powerful sound outstanding in their field, and was unusual in topping the charts well into their own second decade in the late eighties, becoming a staple of MTV’s rotation, albeit sometimes crammed by the industry into music videos that the bandmates despised and comment on to this day.
