lyrics

Well you hit me with the news in early July, said we were through
We talked for hours, wasn’t nothing I could do
So I got in this old truck of mine, headed for the Yukon line and I
Pointed her straight south one last time, one last time

Across the Miles you know that I loved you
Across the Miles well you know it’s true
Across the Miles holdin my hand out in the dark
Across the Miles hopin there’s still a spark

Now I’m runnin desert highways, runnin with a heartache
I’m runnin with wild mustangs and I’m runnin out of time
Runnin with this old car, runnin with a fallen star and I’m
Runnin with the memory of your hand in mine, hand in mine

Across the Miles you know that I loved you
Across the Miles well you know it’s true
Across the Miles holdin my hand out in the dark
Across the Miles hopin there’s still a spark

It was a cold morning in early September
There was snow in the Yukon skies
You called me on that frozen payphone with a tear in your eye
You said you knew I was commin back to town and you just didn’t know why
But there’s some things that you had to say
before you could look in my blue eyes, my blue eyes

Across the Miles you know that you loved me
Across the Miles you know that I loved you too
Across the Miles you’re holdin your hand out in the dark
Across the Miles you’re hopin there’s still a spark

Now I’m dreamin about desert highways, dreamin about a heartache
Dreamin about wild mustangs, dreamin about more time
Dreamin about this old car, dreamin about a fallen star
This time I’m going to do it with your hand in mine, hand in mine

Across the Miles you know that I loved you
Across the Miles you loved me too
Across the Miles we’re dancing in the park
Across the Miles we’re like lightning in the dark
