Closer I Get To You

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

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 <

The road gets longer the closer

I get to you...
