35 Miles to Empty

Driving back home, going where I gotta be
I need to hold my baby, and she needs to hold me
I’m getting so much closer, but the time crawls by so slow
35 miles to empty I got 45 miles to go

Been gone for oh so long, seems like it’s been years
Just thinking ‘bout that woman drives me to tears
To be away from her this long has left us both so low
35 miles to empty with 45 miles to go

So many miles between us, and all my money’s gone
If I don’t see her soon I don’t think I can go on
The last time we were together was just too long ago
35 miles to empty with 45 miles to go

Now the tank is full of empty, and my heart is full of pain
I’m sittin by the roadside, listening to the rain
Starin at the darkness still so far from home
Just 10 miles between us, and I’m sittin here alone
