Journey Proud

Journey Proud (4:23)
Jim Pipkin 2004 BMI

Jim Pipkin: Guitar, vocals

Hot highway in the middle of the night
Few hundred miles and it'll be all right
Desert wind blows through my hair
Gotta a good woman waitin' there
Think I've kept you waitin' much too long

Crossed the Mississippi headed westbound yesterday
Only stopped for diesel and a phone call on the way
Got the windows all rolled down, music crankin' loud
Nights I'm rollin' home to you I get a little journey proud

Cracked my knee on the lifter gate
Torqued my back re-shiftin' freight
Left a little blood inside my glove
But this job is a sweetheart deal
When the bleedin' stops and bruises heal
Whatever's left is still the man you love

Crossed the Mississippi headed westbound yesterday
Only stopped for diesel and a phone call on the way
Got the windows all rolled down, music crankin' loud
Nights I'm rollin' home to you I get a little journey proud

One day gonna stop this ride, pull this job off to the side
Take the time to have ourselves some fun
Til then it's just you and me, against this damned economy
Freedom's just a dream along the run

Crossed the Mississippi headed westbound yesterday
Only stopped for diesel and a phone call on the way
Got the windows all rolled down, music crankin' loud
Nights I'm rollin' home to you I get a little journey proud
