Lyrics

Where the edges of the highway come together
The red lights trailing eighteen wheels are gone
And I tremble in the night wind wond'ring whether
You'll still be thinking of me come the dawn

CHORUS
It's a long haul to San Francisco
A long haul for a girl from Tennessee
I could bear it if I knew you'd be returnin'
It's a long haul for you and for me

You are gone and I am trying to recover
The pieces of our life you left behind
Lord I pray that you will know no other lover
And I'm the only picture in your mind

It's a long haul to san francisco
A long haul for a girl from Tennessee
Oh I wish that I could tell you of my yearnin'
It's a long haul for you and for me

Two bright dots of light are growing up the mountain
Two spots of white are glowing right at me
And I feel my heart a-pumping like a fountain
You're coming back to be my destiny

It's a long haul to San Francisco
A long haul for a girl from Tennessee
But at last I feel your arms around me burnin'
And I know you're always comin' back to me
I know you're always comin' back to me.

Deep Man's voice at end says, "We're in this together, for the long haul."
