Another long kiss goodbye
That highway's calling me tonight
Girl, keep those home flames burning bright
Until I'm back where I belong
There's a long stretch of lonesome
Coming on
Southwest of San Antonne
All-Nighter on my radio
Good country music helps me roll
With those sad Hank Williams songs
There's a long stretch of lonesome
Coming on
Seven nights of white lines
Jamming gears and road signs
Until I roll back in your arms again
Coffee stains and truck stops
Bears lighting up my bird dog
This old black ribbon never seems to end
Missing your sweet southern smile
With every mile I'm gone
There's a long stretch of lonesome
Coming on
No matter where I'm going to
I'm always coming home to you
This pouring rain sure fits my mood
Rolling coal from dust until dawn
There's a long stretch of lonesome
Coming on
Seven nights of white lines
Jamming gears and road signs
Until I roll back in your arms again
Coffee stains and truck stops
Bears lighting up my bird dog
This old black ribbon never seems to end
Missing your sweet southern smile
With every mile I'm gone
There's a long stretch of lonesome
Coming on
I feel a long stretch of lonesome
Coming on
I feel a long stretch of lonesome
Coming on
Aw, eastbound, you better back them down boys
You got one sitting right there in the middle
Right there about the twenty-three-yard line, come on
What's them west Memphis scales doing over here
I know them suckers are always open
For sure, for sure
We're going to blow Hard Rock's hat plum off his head
When we go strolling through there in old Purgatory
I feel a long stretch of lonesome
Coming on
