Lyrics Closer I Get To You - Steve Wariner

Closer I Get To You

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
Windshield 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
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
