A Hundred Miles

    Got a dusty neck and a bent back load
    Feel the heat rise up off a red dark road
    Up ahead's just more the road not showing
    That's a hundred miles that I'm going

    It's a long way up and a long way back
    Ain't no short cut and no side track
    And there ain’t no sign of a shade tree growing
    That's a hundred miles that I'm going

    That's a hundred miles to get back to you
    And a hundred years and maybe two

    Seen the road stretched out from the old home place
    Seen glad tears standing on Grandma’s face
    Gonna get some love and a big hello-ing
    That's a hundred miles that I'm going

    That's a hundred miles to get back to you
    Then a hundred years or maybe two

    Got a dusty neck and a bent back load
    Feel the heat rise up off a red dark road
    Up ahead's just more that the road not showing
    That's a hundred miles that I'm going
    That's a hundred miles that I'm going
