5,500 miles
|
Across the Texas plain
|
Just to look at the mountains
|
Just to not go insane (insane, insane)
|
|
5,500 miles
|
Across the Texas plain
|
Just to look at the ocean
|
Just to not go insane
|
|
I'm goin' home
|
I'm starting home
|
On a freezing eastern highway
|
A muddy snow bank
|
A broken radio
|
|
A dome of stars on a tin plate
|
Got Booker T on cassette tape
|
|
Tore out the amplifier to fit it in
|
I saw the free way buckle and bend
|
Carburetor struck a strong head wind
|
And I barreled...through California!
|
|
And even on a cloudy day
|
And the end the sun peaks through
|
Between the mountains and the clouds!
|
|
Woo!
|
|
5,500 miles
|
Across the Texas plain
|
Just to look at the mountains
|
Just to not go insane
|
|
5,500 miles
|
Across the Texas plain
|
Just to look at the ocean
|
Just to not go insane
|
|
And now I'm home
|
I made it home
|
On a little four-cylinder engine
|
A blue tin can
|
A red sleepin' bag
|
|
I wasn't alone the whole way
|
I had some com-pan-ay
|
|
The sterring wheel made a print on my arm
|
I stopped and I checked out the farm
|
I saw the sun beat down hard
|
And I barreled...through California!
|
|
And even on a cloudy day
|
And the end the sun peaks through
|
Between the mountains and the clouds!
|
|
Haw!
|
|
I can't drive five thousand lonely miles!
|
I can't drive five thousand lonely miles!
|
I can't drive five thousand lonely miles!
|
I can't drive five thousand lonely miles!
|
|
Five thousand, five hundred miles
|
