a hundred miles or so

a fog hangs low in the dips of the land
these are the softest fingers of nature's wrath
but I made someone an unspoken promise
and it's sending me back out onto the path

I could've stayed here, honey, and no one would ever know
and just chalk it up to that lusty dusty road
sometimes I'm feeling like my heart might just explode
when I've got a hundred miles or so I've got to go
just a hundred miles or so I've got to go

my coat's been dried and I've got a little money
you're kind to ask, but I'll be fine
you know I don't even give a damn about your intentions
it's not my problem once I leave this room behind

I could've stayed here, honey, and no one would ever know
and just chalk it up to that lusty dusty road
sometimes I'm feeling like my heart might just explode
when I've got a hundred miles or so I've got to go
just a hundred miles or so I've got to go

but leaving's easier said than done
sometimes I wonder how you people do it
got warm arms on my right & the door is right behind him
and man, all I've got to do is walk through it

I could've stayed here, honey, and no one would ever know
and just chalk it up to that lusty dusty road
sometimes I'm feeling like my heart might just explode
when I've got a hundred miles or so I've got to go
just a hundred miles or so, I got to go
