The sun is leaning low against the pine trees Painting shadows long across the hood There’s a soft wind blowing through the open window Whispering that life is looking good I’m just taking in the rhythm of the blacktop Letting all the city noise fade away Don’t need a map to tell me where I’m headed I’ll just find another mile to finish out the day (Find another mile to finish out the day) There’s a roadside stand selling peaches and honey A hand-painted sign leaning near the gate I don’t have a clock and I don’t need the money The best things in life are the ones that can wait I’m just taking in the rhythm of the blacktop Letting all the city noise fade away Don’t need a map to tell me where I’m headed I’ll just find another mile to finish out the day (Find another mile to finish out the day) No flashing lights or a deadline to meet Just the humming of tires on a two-lane street The radio’s playing a song I once knew And the sky’s turning gold, then a deep shade of blue I might stop the truck where the creek hits the hollow And watch how the water winds over the stone There’s no heavy lead for a shadow to follow Just me and the quiet, but I’m not alone I’m just taking in the rhythm of the blacktop Letting all the city noise fade away Don’t need a map to tell me where I’m headed I’ll just find another mile to finish out the day (Find another mile to finish out the day) (One more mile) (Just one more mile)
