[Lyric] 99 Miles (Allan Harris)

99 MILES
99 MILES FROM ATLANTA GEORGIA GOT ONE THING ON MY MIND
TWO WHOLE WEEKS ON THIS LONELY ROAD
FEELS LIKE I'VE SERVED SOME TIME
GONNA PULL IT IN THE DRIVEWAY
POP ON THE EMERGENCY
JUMP LIKE A FROG ON THE PORCH
TAKE A LONG HOT BATH AND A SHOT OF TEQUILA
HEAR THE SOUND OF MY SWEET BABY'S VOICE

BEEN A LOTTA LONG YEARS OF SCRAPIN' AND A SCUFFLIN
BUT TIME HAS PROVED ITSELF WELL
WE MIGHT NOT HAD A LOT OF FRILLS AND TASSELS
BUT LAWD KNOWS WE'VE HAD OURSELVES
I
SAY IT'S BACK TO THE BASICS
FOR WE'RE AT OUR BEST
CAUSE THAT'S HOW WE STARTED OUT
WE HAD LOVE THEN AND WE HAVE LOVE NOW
AND THAT’S WHAT WERE ALL ABOUT

BRIDGE
JUST PUT OUT THE DOG AND READ UP THE HOUSE
'CAUSE THE LAST TWO WEEKS HAVE BEEN HELL
I’LL BE IN THE CITY BY ELEVEN OCLOCK
SHE KNOWS TO EXPECT ME BY TWELVE
YA SEE THERE AIN'T TO MANY JOBS FOR A WORKIN CLASS HERO
SO I GOTTA DO THE BEST THAT I CAN
THEY CAN STOP ME FROM WORKING
BUT THEY CAN'T STOP THE LOVIN'
THAT HAPPENS 'TWEEN A WOMAN AND A MAN


THERE WERE TIME’S WHEN I’D WAKE UP
IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT
AND WATCH AS SHE SLEPT IN OUR BED
THE ROOM WAS SO COLD
NO FOOD IN THE FREEZER
TEARS WELLED UP IN MY HEAD

NOW WE’VE BEEN A LOTTA PLACES AND
WE’VE SEEN A LOTTA FACES
SHE STILL SMILES WHEN SHE WALKES BY MY SIDE
WHY THERE’S ONE THING IN LIFE I'D DO OVER AGAIN
I'D ASK HER TO BE MY BRIDE
