Steve Wariner – Closer I Get To You Lyrics

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...
