Lyrics
Seven hundred miles to the next state line Dashboard clock says we're doing fine But I keep reaching for the radio dial Hoping for a song from home a while Drummer's asleep on a pile of coats Harmonica rattling in the cupholder notes I watch the white lines go by like days Every one of them leading the same old way Mile after mile of missing you Wheels keep humming, the sky turns blue We're chasing the sunset, but it's chasing back And I'm homesick on a long black track Mile after mile of missing you Singing it loud till the night comes through Stopped at a diner for a slice of pie Waitress said, honey, you look like you could cry I said no ma'am, I'm just a long way off From a little white house and a Sunday cough So turn it up and sing it back Every voice in this rattling pack We'll carry home inside the van Till the wheels roll down to where it began Mile after mile of missing you Wheels keep humming, the sky turns blue We're chasing the sunset, but it's chasing back And I'm homesick on a long black track Mile after mile of missing you Singing it loud till the night comes through Mile after mile Missing you
