Lyrics
Eight more miles to Little Mountain twenty-four to East Whitmore
But there's still ten days and eleven nights before I come back to our door
I'm driving in my car, car, car, car, far, far away from home
I'm driving in my car, car, car, car, far, far away from home
Found a note left in my suitcase saying we wish you were here
Got your picture on my dashboard and the hands-free in my ear
And I can quote Dr. Seuss from memory but I can't kiss you all goodnight
Living this life I chose out on the road but still not feeling right
I'm driving in my car, car, car, car, far, far away from home
I'm driving in my car, car, car, car, far, far away from home
How can I explain to you it's something I just have to do
I don't expect you to understand
Try to balance love, your dreams and money
Seems so easy, but Lord it's funny
It seems you only want the thing that isn't in your hands, yeah
Check my map by flashlight I'm just looking for a sign
Am I where I thought I ought to be...or have I lost my mind?
Eight more miles to Little Mountain twenty-four to East Whitmore
But there's still ten days and eleven nights before I come back to our door
I'm driving in my car, car, car, car, far, far away from home
I'm driving in my car, car, car, car, far away from home
