Lyrics

Verse:
She said I'll pray for you, I'll write you every day
Straightened my new uniform and watched me drive away
Posted to a strange land half a world from home
Wearing holes in her letters, feeling so alone
There were times I thought I'd never make it back
Now I'm winding out this Tahoe laying hard on the gas

Chorus:
It's twenty-four miles to Mobile
Twelve more exits and she'll
Wake up to the sound of gravel underneath my wheels
Six more songs on the radio
How fast can this Chevy go?
Gonna hold her in my arms and tell her how I feel
Twenty-four miles to Mobile
And she's mine...

Verse:
She was just a freckled girl the summer I turned ten
Yankees cap, emerald eyes, a crooked little grin
Swore to be friends forever, crossed our hearts and hoped to die
Her memory kept me going as the weeks and months went by
Now there's a thin line between friendship and love
I finally crossed over and thank God above it's only

Chorus:
Eighteen miles to Mobile
Nine more exits and she'll
Wake up to the sound of gravel underneath my wheels
Four more songs on the radio
How fast can this Chevy go?
Gonna hold her in my arms and tell her how I feel
Eighteen miles to Mobile
And she's mine...

Bridge:
I don't know if she feels the same
But there's one thing that I know
I miss that girl more and more
With every mile I go, but it's just

Chorus:
Twelve more miles to Mobile
Six more exits and she'll
Wake up to the sound of gravel underneath my wheels
Three more songs on the radio
How fast can this Chevy go?
Gonna hold her in my arms and tell her how I feel
Twelve more miles to Mobile
And she's mine...
