Lyrics
50 Miles Closer
(c) 2006 Matthews/Naismith/Donnelly/Evans
I see footsteps walking down the track
Even if it means I'm looking back at you
There's a reason girl for everything
Guess it means I'm due this life I'm living in
Tonight I turned the key and I headed out
Made it to the freeway and I drove due south
I ran away ... but I'm
50 miles closer to you
been driving the whole night through
on a road that I swore wasn't there any more
50 miles closer to you
Pulled the truck in and I stopped for gas
When I paid I saw the photograph of you
pulled it over to the amber light
didn't know I'd spend another night with you
I drove on through the phone-in on the radio
Like the DJ's gonna tell me which way to go
I ran away ... but I'm
50 miles closer to you
been driving the whole night through
on a road that I swore wasn't there any more
I'm 50 miles closer to you ..
Being near makes you distant
long miles bring you close
fate can change you in an instant
Show me the way to go ?
50 miles closer to you
been driving the whole night through
on a road that I swore wasn't there any more
I'm 50 miles closer to you ..
