She tilts the seat back and closes her eyes
As I reach out and turn down the noise
Through broken sunglasses, the cactus fly past us
Did she dream, of long ago boys?
Just then it hits me that she's still a mystery
That we've never been down this highway before
And I don't know why skies rumble
Or tumbleweeds tumble
There's one thing that I know for sure:
Four Hundred Ninety Three(493) miles,
There's only two people left in this world
For the next Four Hundred Ninety Three(493) miles
It's me and that girl
Just me and that girl
Just me and that girl
Yeah, and all these distractions and roadside attractions
And time and distance can never erase
Her breath like a sweet chord
Her feet on my dashboard
The back of her neck and the sun on her face
Four Hundred Ninety Three(493) miles,
Yeah, you might know me, but not how I feel
For the next Four Hundred Ninety Three(493) miles
I got one hand in her hand and one on the wheel
I've known her forever, we've only just met
And we'll always remember until we forget
Something so dusty seems shiny and new
We just roll on, into the blue
Into the blue
Four Hundred Ninety Three(493) miles,
We're passing through nowhere
Where no one can find us
For the next Four Hundred Ninety Three(493) miles,
We won't look back or turn back
There's nothing behind us
Four Hundred Ninety Three(493) miles
It's Four Hundred Ninety Three(493) miles
For the next Four Hundred Ninety Three(493) miles,
It's me and that girl
Just me and that girl
Just me and that girl
