Lyrics

A Long Way From Home

Two hours out of Memphis
the prairie turns to gold.
Tall grasses dance in wind like kids at play.

Your picture's on my visor,
a smile that warms my soul.
I wonder if you smiled like that today.

CHORUS:
And I'm A Long Way From Home
I'll drive 800 miles 'fore day is thru
Yes, I'm A Long Way From Home.
Missing -- missing you.

Freight trains cross the river
like bad dreams two miles long.
I count the cars and rain drops in the night.

Truck stop neon blinking,
some coffee, food, a song.
This lonely place my only welcome sight.

CHORUS

Headlights paint the desert,
above me red hawks fly,
as morning reaches out for something new.

Riding shotgun with me,
good memories ask me why
I drive this road instead of back to you.

CHORUS
