There's a big Missouri moon shining on the highway
Gotta a Kansas City DJ talking on my radio
While I'm heading for St. Louis to see my baby
When I cross the Mississippi River, I'll be home

Oooh, I'm running on love
It keeps filling me up, when I get low
Oooh, I'm running on love
Just wind me up, and send me home

I can still remember waving goodbye in the cold rain
I was trying hard not to let her see me cry
I've been playing with a six-piece band five days on a four-lane
And while I'm gone her love keeps me alive

Oooh, I'm running on love
It keeps filling me up, when I get low
Oooh, I'm running on love
Just wind me up, and send me home

Hey you gotta open up the highway
You know I'm headed home
You better get out of my way
Cause I've been gone too long

Oooh, I'm running on love
It keeps filling me up, when I get low
Oooh, I'm running on love
Just wind me up, and send me home

You got to wind me up to send me home
