Mile Markers and Headlights

I’ve got a hundred miles of east coast interstate to avoid
Because the weekend traffic makes a parking lot of highway 95
Got the cheapest hotel room that I could find
Gonna save my money and stay with her one more night


At the end of my drive she is waiting for me
With a kiss and those eyes I’ve been dying to see
Every inch, every mile, every new town I reach
Milemarkers and headlights, I am closer to free


Richmond in the rearview, try not count the minutes down
So close I can feel it as I close in on the edge of town
I almost can hear her on the front porch pacing around
I”m only a moment away and a minute out


At the end of my drive she is waiting for me
With a kiss and those eyes I’ve been dying to see
Every inch, every mile, every new town I reach
Milemarkers and headlights, I am closer to free


A night or town and I’m back to where I came from
And I’ll be half a state away
But time with her is never quite as long as it seems


At the end of my drive she is waiting for me
With a kiss and those eyes I’ve been dying to see


At the end of my drive she is waiting for me
With a kiss and those eyes I’ve been dying to see
Every inch, every mile, every new town I reach
Milemarkers and headlights, I am closer to free
