Driving Song

I haven’t been home since I don’t know when One day this road is gonna do me in When I see that stretch of highway, I know it won’t be long Until then I’ll just have this song The guitar is still ringing in my head you know The last sign said I’ve only an hour to go The diesel is running black, Like the coal at the plant On Friday I’ve got to get back I’ve been driving since a half past four It’s a ten hour ride from door to door The cops are out huntin’ me down, Their lights are growin’ dim I just gotta make it into town I’m gettin’ so close now I’m almost there Spittin’ up gravel gonna leave the road bare My tires are getting bald, Ain’t getting young, I’m getting old How good it will be to get home I haven’t been home since I don’t know when One day this road is gonna do me in When I see that stretch of highway, I know it won’t be long Until then I’ll just have this song Until then I’ll just have this song
