Closer I Get To You

Mississippi rain comin' down on me
Thirty more miles I'm back in Tennessee
I keep watchin' that clock but the hands don't move
The road gets longer the closer I get to you

Windsheild wipers slappin' out the time
Radio on tryin' to ease my mind
Lonesome song tellin' me the truth
The road gets longer the closer I get to you

This ol' pickup truck ain't fast enough
I've been gone too long
I've got the pedal down to the floor
But it's my heart that's racin' on
I ain't far from heaven
But one thing that is true
The road gets longer the closer I get to you

This ol' pickup truck ain't fast enough
I've been gone too long
I've got the pedal down to the floor
But it's my heart that's racin' on
I ain't far from heaven
But one thing that is true
The road gets longer the closer I get to you
