Lyrics
Counting Miles
(© 2003 Craig / Caswell / McAlister)
Verse 1
18 wheels punching through the night
I'm low on gas and I'm low on time
Could use some living in my life
For a while
It?s been too many hours since I took a break
And it's only the pills keeping me awake
It's about as much as a boy can take
Counting miles
The sun's coming over the hills ahead
With my gas gauge almost down to red
While she lies awake in a lonely bed
Counting miles
Chorus
Counting miles
And each one seems a little bit longer
Counting miles
Something keeps driving me on
Driving me home
I take her love away with me
But I sure do miss her smile
And I curse the life that keeps me
Counting miles
Verse 2
It's been 10 years now since we bought this rig
It's funny how time goes by so quick
There's a price you pay for dreaming big
Counting miles
But there's ways of making dreams come true
We'll have it paid off in a year or 2
That's the hold the road has over you
Counting miles
As the sun climbs higher into the sky
I watch the mileposts flashing by
My love for her's the reason I'm
Counting Miles
Repeat Chorus twice
