Mississippi rain comin' down on me Thirty more miles I'm back in Tennessee I keep watchin' that clock but the hands don't move The road gets longer the closer I get to you Windsheild wipers slappin' out the time Radio on tryin' to ease my mind Lonesome song tellin' 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 racin' on I ain't far from heaven But one thing that is true 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 racin' on I ain't far from heaven But one thing that is true The road gets longer the closer I get to you...
