Closer I Get To You - Steve Wariner

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

Windshield 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
