Cowboy Junkies Lyrics

"200 More Miles" lyrics


Atlanta's a distant memory
Montgomery a recent birth
And Tulsa burns on the desert floor
Like a signal fireI got Willie on the radio
A dozen things on my mind
And number one is fleshing out
These dreams of mineI've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in line
Before I sleep
But there'll be no warm sheets or welcoming arms
To fall into tonightIn Nashville there is a lighter
In a case for all to see
It speaks of dreams and heartaches
Left unsungAnd in the corner stands a guitar and
Lonesome words scrawled in a drunken hand
I don't travel past, travel hard before
And I'm beginning to understandThat I've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in line
Before I sleep
But there'll be no warm sheets or welcoming arms
To fall into tonightThey say that I am crazy
My life wasting on this road
That time will find my dreams
Scared or dead and coldBut I heard there is a light
Drawing me to reach an end
And when I reach there, I'll turn back
And you and I can begin againI've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in line
Before I sleep
But there'll be no warm sheets or welcoming arms
To fall into tonightI've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in line
Before I sleep
But I wouldn't trade all your golden tomorrows
For one hour of this nightAtlanta's a distant memory
Montgomery a recent birth
And Tulsa burns on the desert floor
Like a signal fire
