Takin’ The Short Way Home (Larry W. Jones 02/04/2007) (song#4383)

Well, it’s Monday mornin’ and it’s almost noon
I’ll be holdin’ my darlin’ close real soon
Pour strong the coffee in my coffee cup
I’ll be on the road when I saddle up

I’m gonna roll on down another hundred miles
Just another hundred miles with a covered load
I’m gonna roll on down til I see a hundred smiles
Just another hundred miles on a black top road

I can almost feel your kiss, almost see your face
I’m almost rollin’ faster than the law will grace
The rain is comin’ down, my wheels are makin’ foam
I don’t care cause I’m takin’ the short way home

– instrumental –

Don’t need no more stops for diesel-ine
Windshield wipers keep my windows clean
Burnin’ up the back roads with my tires
Burnin’ up with a load of sweet desires

I can almost feel your kiss, almost see your face
Almost rollin’ faster than the law will grace
The rain is comin’ down, my wheels are makin’ foam
I don’t care cause I’m takin’ the short way home

The rain is comin’ down, my wheels are makin’ foam
I don’t care cause I’m takin’ the short way home
Takin’ the short way home
Takin’ the short way home
Takin’ the short way home
