5,500 Miles Lyrics - Presidents Of The United States Of America

5,500 miles 

Across the Texas plain 

Just to look at the mountains 

Just to not go insane 

5,500 miles 

Across the Texas plain 

Just to look at the ocean 

Just to not go insane 

I'm goin' home, I'm starting home 

On a freezing eastern highway 

A muddy snow bank, a broken radio 

A dome of stars on a tin plate 

Got Booker T on cassette tape 

Tore out the amplifier to fit it in 

I saw the free way buckle and bend 

Carburetor struck a strong head wind 

And I barreled through California 

And even on a cloudy day 

At the end the sun peaks through 

Between the mountains and the clouds 

5,500 miles 

Across the Texas plain 

Just to look at the mountains 

Just to not go insane 

5,500 miles 

Across the Texas plain 

Just to look at the ocean 

Just to not go insane 

And now I'm home, I made it home 

On a little four-cylinder engine 

A blue tin can, red sleepin' bag 

I wasn't alone the whole way 

I had some company 

The sterring wheel made a print on my arm 

I stopped and I checked out the farm 

I saw the sun beat down hard 

And I barreled through California 

And even on a cloudy day 

And the end the sun peaks through 

Between the mountains and the clouds 

I can't drive five thousand lonely miles 

I can't drive five thousand lonely miles 

I can't drive five thousand lonely miles 

I can't drive five thousand lonely miles 

5500 miles
