200 More Miles Lyrics - The Trinity Session - Cowboy Junkies

Atlanta's a distant memory 

Montgomery a recent birth 

and Tulsa burns on the desert floor 

like a signal fire 

I got Willie on the radio 

a dozen things on my mind 

and number one is fleshing out 

these dreams of mine 

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 tonight 

In Nashville there is a lighter 

in a case for all to see 

it speaks of dreams and heartaches 

left unsung

And 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 understand 

That 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 tonight 

They say that I am crazy 

my life wasting on this road 

that time will find my dreams 

scared or dead and cold 

But 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 again

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 tonight 

I'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 night 

Atlanta's a distant memory 

Montgomery a recent birth 

and Tulsa burns on the desert floor
