Lyrics
(c) 2024 John Croizat, Flyin' Bayou Publishing, BMI
I’ve been runnin, chasing down the dawn,
Days go slow, nights drag on.
It’s been a long haul, from Oregon to Maine
Now I’m heading home again
Through the farmlands, and through the towns
Gearing up, and shifting down
It’s not easy to keep love alive
When you work a long haul drive
Chorus:
Motor runnin, highway humming,
Big wheels turning, my heart yearning
Have I been gone for too long
Does she still care,
Will she be there . . .
I hear her voice, I see her smile
I replay memories as I count miles
Will she be there, waiting for me,
Oh, I’ll just have to wait and see,
Chorus then instrumental verse, then Bridge:
It’s not easy babe, I know
When I’m gone so long from home
All the days and nights alone, alone
Final Chorus:
Motor runnin, highway hummin,
Big wheels turning, my heart yearning
Now I see my hometown lights
Will she be there, will she be there
Will she be there, oh … when I get home tonight
