Miles away, far from home This old diesel keeps moving on Highway signs and red taillights Is all I have with me tonight This tired heart and lonely wheels No one knows the way I feel
Desert wind, carry me I would fly if I had wings I'm stuck behind the wheel Down this long hard road Miles away Far from home
And it rained through most of Montana All the way down to Colorado I got a little sleep in Santa Fe
But in sight there's stormy weather It's been so long since we've been together I'm missin' you more and more each day Won't be long, I'm almost there I'll fill 'er up and say a prayer
Desert wind, carry me I would fly if I had wings I'm stuck behind the wheel I'm rollin' down this long hard road Miles away Far from home
Miles away, far from home This old diesel keeps moving on
