Lyrics and Music by Mike Darnell © 2005 Cruisin’ down the highway it’s a quarter past one I’ll have the pedal to the metal when I see the sun Towns are rollin’ by me like a roulette wheel I’m eatin’ up the highway like a man’s last meal
Baby’s back in Houston waitin’ for me there Only thing between us is the cold night air Night is slowly fadin’, sun is on the rise I’ll have another cup of coffee for these road map eyes
Mileage markers fallin’ like my baby’s tears All I see are white lines in my rear view mirror Got to see my baby there’s no need to phone I’ve got to keep on movin’ ‘til the cows come home
Pushin’ through Sonora on to San Antone Another twenty miles and I’ll be half way home I’ve got my motor hummin’, it’s in over drive It’s workin’ like a bear around an old bee hive
Pullin’ into Houston and I’m right on time Bright lights up ahead I cross that county line My baby hears me comin’, I can see her smile Windin’ down the motor, I’m on the final mile
Mileage markers fallin’ like my baby’s tears All I see are white lines in my rear view mirror Got to see my baby there’s no need to phone I’ve got to keep on movin’ ‘til the cows come home |
