200 More Miles

And number one is fleshing out these dreams of mine
I've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in line, before I sleep
In Nashville there is a lighter, in a case for all to see

Atlanta's a distant memory, Montgomery a recent birth

I've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in line, before I sleep
Scrawled in a drunken hand, I don't travel past
But there'll be no warm sheets or welcoming arms to fall into tonight
Travel hard before and I'm beginning to understand
That time will find my dreams, scared or dead and cold
But I heard there is a light and drawing me to reach an end
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
And when I reach there, I'll turn back and you and I can begin again

I got Willie on the radio, a dozen things on my mind

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 all when you trade all your golden tomorrow's for one, overall this night
They say that I am crazy, my life wasting on this road
It speaks of dreams and heartaches, left unsung
And in the corner stands a guitar and lonesome words
