"Long Drives And Lonesome Mornings" lyrics
(originally by Pat Reedy)
Morning light shines through my windshield
Leaves the dust a shine of gray
About an hour south of Amarillo
Staring down the same interstate
If you're thinking
That I don't want you
If you're wondering
The same
'Cause I've been dreaming only on you
We ain't been dreaming too much these days
Long drives and lonesome mornings
Cold hands and higher stakes
Brown eyes are waiting for me
Be a long drive today
If I roll down to Kansas City
Leave these old and dusty blues behind
There'll be no other road to lift me
Be no other on my mind
Thinking only, not make acting
Lift your weary head up high
Ain't no needing for all your asking
Only holding what you find
Long drives and lonesome mornings
Cold hands and higher stakes
Brown eyes are waiting for me
Be a long drive today
Leaves the dust a shine of gray
About an hour south of Amarillo
Staring down the same interstate
If you're thinking
That I don't want you
If you're wondering
The same
'Cause I've been dreaming only on you
We ain't been dreaming too much these days
Long drives and lonesome mornings
Cold hands and higher stakes
Brown eyes are waiting for me
Be a long drive today
If I roll down to Kansas City
Leave these old and dusty blues behind
There'll be no other road to lift me
Be no other on my mind
Thinking only, not make acting
Lift your weary head up high
Ain't no needing for all your asking
Only holding what you find
Long drives and lonesome mornings
Cold hands and higher stakes
Brown eyes are waiting for me
Be a long drive today
