A hundred twenty miles
Away from home
Doesn’t seem so far to go
But I’m tired from
The twelve hours that I worked
Need some sleep need some food
Get it down and back in I go
Seems my life never slows
Down at all

Back and forth I’m in and out
Barely get a second’s  breath
And they call me for another shift
On the road

Wash my cloths hit the store
Get some food and gas
Before I go
Back on the road
For another fifty or so miles
Farther away

Pushing on going through
Still you know I’m missing you
Gone one twenty to two hundred and two
Miles away

Heavy hearted I hear a sob
Tears fill my eyes
I don’t know why I cry
Maybe I’ll get a day or two
To come back home to you
