200 More Miles

Atlanta's a distant memory

Montgomery a recent birth

And tulsa burns on the desert floor

Like a signal fire



I got willie on the radio

A dozen things on my mind

And number one is fleshing out

These dreams of mine



I've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in line

Before i sleep

But there'll be no warm sheets or welcoming arms

To fall into tonight



In nashville there is a lighter

In a case for all to see

It speaks of dreams and heartaches

Left unsung



And in the corner stands a guitar and

Lonesome words scrawled in a drunken hand

I don't travel past, travel hard before

And i'm beginning to understand



That i've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in line

Before i sleep

But there'll be no warm sheets or welcoming arms

To fall into tonight



They say that i am crazy

My life wasting on this road

That time will find my dreams

Scared or dead and cold



But i heard there is a light

Drawing me to reach an end

And when i reach there, i'll turn back

And you and i can begin again



I've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in line

Before i sleep

But there'll be no warm sheets or welcoming arms

To fall into tonight



I've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in line

Before i sleep

But i wouldn't trade all your golden tomorrows

For one hour of this night



Atlanta's a distant memory

Montgomery a recent birth

And tulsa burns on the desert floor

Like a signal fire
