29 Miles from Tupelo

Standin' on the side of the road Trying to make Tupelo Hoping to flag a ride Before the sun falls out of the sky A thousand miles from home With all my money gone I'm out here missing you And wondering what I'm gonna do When the Goodyear plant shut down There was nothing left for me in that town I'd been countin' on that job Now I feel like I been robbed I thought this time I'd win Thought I'd hold you in my arms again And finally make you proud But baby it didn't work out They say what don't kill you makes you stronger Well, I ain't sure anybody knows But baby if you can hold on a little longer I'll find my faith and get on down this road I'm just twenty-nine miles from Tupelo With these big rigs blowin' by me And so little hope inside me I'm gonna need a miracle or two God please don't let Tupelo fall through They say what don't kill you makes you stronger Well, I ain't sure anybody knows But baby if you can hold on a little longer I'll find my faith and get on down this road I'm just twenty-nine miles from Tupelo Just holding on, and missing you so Twenty-nine miles from Tupelo Twenty-nine miles from Tupelo Twenty-nine miles from Tupelo
