Closer I Get To You

(album: Burnin' The Roadhouse Down - 1998)

Mississippi rain coming down on me
Thirty more miles I'm back in Tennessee
I keep watching that clock but the hands don't move
The road gets longer the closer I get to you

Windsheild wipers slapping out the time
Radio on trying to ease my mind
Lonesome song telling me the truth
The road gets longer the closer I get to you

This ol' pickup truck ain't fast enough
I've been gone too long
I've got the pedal down to the floor
But it's my heart that's racing on
I ain't far from heaven
But one thing that is true
The road gets longer the closer I get to you

[Instrumental]

This ol' pickup truck ain't fast enough
I've been gone too long
I've got the pedal down to the floor
But it's my heart that's racing on
I ain't far from heaven
But one thing that is true
The road gets longer the closer I get to you...
