Lyrics

Well It’s been a long day and I’m a long way
From home
Driving 600 miles while leaving my baby alone
And there’s nothing I want more than to see her face
And there’s nothing in this world like her warm embrace

So forgive me officer for not stopping when you flagged me down

Cause I’m here in Mississippi heading back to Tennessee
I last filled up in Texas and I booked it through New Orleans
I may be running on fumes and afoul of the law but I’ve got my goal in sight

I’ve got my pedal to the metal and I’m rolling into town to rock my baby tonight

[Verse two]
Well it’s a good job but it takes me far away from her
And there are days I’m out here that I wonder just what it’s worth
But when I get home and she holds me tight
She lets me know that everything’s all right
She don’t mind the speeding ticket if it means she gets to hold me tonight

[chorus]
Cause I'm here in Mississippi headed back to Tennessee
I last filled up in Texas and I booked it through New Orleans
I may be running on fumes and afoul of the law
But I've got my goal in sight
I've got my pedal to the metal and I'm rolling into town to rock my baby tonight

[Instrumental]

[chorus]
Cause I'm here in Mississippi headed back to
Tennessee (Awe yeah)
I last filled up in Texas and I booked it through New Orleans
I may be running on fumes and afoul of the law
But I've got my goal in sight
I've got my pedal to the metal and I'm rolling into town to rock my baby tonight

I've got my pedal to the metal and I'm rolling into town to rock my baby tonight
