    One of the best songs ever, and surely PG's best rendition of this song I've heard. Her band unfolds a wonderful sound carpet here which carries these magic moments.

    There will never be agreement on "the most beautiful song," but this gets my vote. My first dance with my wife at our wedding - this song sums up love and commitment and knowing they are the most important when times are tough.

      Believe me, I can relate. My wife came down to the basement one evening and discovered me weeping nearly uncontrollably while watching this video. I couldn't explain to her what the problem was. I didn't even know. Except that it has something to do with Patty's voice ... because there are others of her songs that have the same effect on me. As far as I'm concerned, she and James McMurtry are the two greatest songwriters of my generation -- and that encompasses a huge number of very, very, very great songwriters.

    Red lights are flashing on the highway
    I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
    I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight
    Everywhere the waters getting rough
    Your best intentions may not be enough
    I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight
    [Chorus]
    But if you break down
    I'll drive out and find you
    If you forget my love
    I'll try to remind you
    Stay by you when it don't come easy
    ....whoa-oh
    I don't know nothing except change will come
    Year after year what we do is undone
    Time gets moving from a crawl to a run
    I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
    You're out there walking down a highway
    And all of the signs got blown away
    Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction
    yeah....hey....
    [Chorus]
    So many things that I had before
    It don't matter to me now
    Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost
    And the love that I've never found
    When the last bird falls
    And the last siren sounds
    Someone will say what's been said before
    Its only love we were looking for
    So when you break down....
    [Chorus]
