The Long Beds: Listen
How Many Miles
(Michael Perry and The Long Beds)
Black Freightliner, mother road
Black Freightliner, mother road
Somewhere west of Laramie he rolls
Black Freightliner, mother road
80,000 stacked up on 18
80,000 stacked up on 18
Pictures in his wallet, little dreams
Pictures in his wallet, little dreams
chorus
How many miles, how many roads
How many miles, how many roads
Motion is your morphine, let it roll
Motion is your morphine, let it roll
Rumble strip howlin’ in the rain
Rumble strip howlin’ in the rain
Gator in the eastbound hammer lane
Rumble strip howlin’ in the rain
So you tarp that flatbed down one more time
You tarp that flatbed down just one more time
Broken hearts and dispatch on the line
Tarp that flatbed down one more time
chorus
I hope you make it home one last time
I hope you make it home one last time
Grab another gear, man, let’er ride
I pray you make it home safe one more time
chorus
