Closer I Get To You Lyrics - Steve Wariner

Mississippi rain comin' down on me 

Thirty more miles I'm back in Tennessee 

I keep watchin' that clock but the hands don't move 

The road gets longer the closer I get to you 

Wind sheild wipers slappin' out the time 

Radio on tryin' to ease my mind 

Lonesome song tellin' me the truth 

The road gets longer the closer I get to you 

This ol' pickup truck ain't fast enough 

I've been gone too long 

I've got the pedal down to the floor 

But it's my heart that's racin' on 

I ain't far from heaven 

But one thing that is true 

The road gets longer the closer I get to you 

This ol' pickup truck ain't fast enough 

I've been gone too long 

I've got the pedal down to the floor 

But it's my heart that's racin' on 

I ain't far from heaven 

But one thing that is true 

The road gets longer the closer I get to you
