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

Instrumental

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
