Driving Home to You

[Verse 1] Wipers keep a slow and steady beat Radio hums an old familiar tune Frost is drawing letters on the glass And every mile I close, I close too soon [Pre-Chorus] The tank half full, the coffee going cold Three hundred lights between us in the dark [Chorus] I'm driving home to you tonight Past the churches lit in gold Counting bridges, counting down Just to feel your hand hold mine again I've been gone too long, I know So keep the porch light burning low I'm driving home, I'm driving home to you [Verse 2] Somewhere in the backseat, wrapped and taped, The little things I hope you don't forget Your mother's stew, the crooked kitchen door And that same old argument we never settle yet [Pre-Chorus] The snow comes down like it's got all the time But I've got none to waste, I'm nearly there [Chorus] I'm driving home to you tonight Past the churches lit in gold Counting bridges, counting down Just to feel your hand hold mine again I've been gone too long, I know So keep the porch light burning low I'm driving home, I'm driving home to you [Bridge] Funny how the road that took me far Is the same one bringing me back to your arms Every winter I forget the way you laugh Then a light turns green and there it is again [Chorus] I'm driving home to you tonight Past the churches lit in gold Counting bridges, counting down Just to feel your hand hold mine again [Outro] Two more turns, I see the smoke, The window fogged, the kettle on I'm driving home, I'm nearly home to you
