Lyrics
Driving country I never seen
Spend all my money on gasoline
Never thinking of where I been
Sun go up and come down again
Come the night I go straight on through
Long enough, strong enough, counting down the miles till I get to you
Highway night, I don't see no star
Only white lines shooting under my car
A.M. radio just broke down
And there ain't nobody for miles around
Only got one thing to do
That's see the road, be the road, counting down the miles till I get to you
BRIDGE:
Since you left me, nothing works right anymore
Steam is rising from the hood
Air conditioning is dripping on the floor
I try to shift my gear down, but it don't shift so good
Power lock is broken, I can't open the door
The engine is barely alive
Girl, I don't know how I can make you make it run like it did before
But I got to get to you now,
And I got a long, long, long, long, long, long,
long, long, long long way to drive.
Sun come up on a brand new day
And the road sign tell me I'm miles away
Say a prayer for my poor old car
If it will get me to where you are
I forget where I'm driving to
long enough, strong enough,
see the road, be the road,
turn the wheels, burn the wheels,
counting down the miles till I get to you.
Spend all my money on gasoline
Never thinking of where I been
Sun go up and come down again
Come the night I go straight on through
Long enough, strong enough, counting down the miles till I get to you
Highway night, I don't see no star
Only white lines shooting under my car
A.M. radio just broke down
And there ain't nobody for miles around
Only got one thing to do
That's see the road, be the road, counting down the miles till I get to you
