493 Miles

She tilts the seat back and closes her eyes
As I reach out and turn down the noise
Through broken sunglasses the cactus fly past us
Did she dream of long ago boys?
Just then it hits me that she's still a mystery
That we've never been down this highway before
And I don't know why skies rumble
Or tumbleweeds tumble
There's one thing that I know for sure

Four hundred ninety three miles
There's only two people left in this world
For the next, four hundred ninety three miles
It's me and that girl just me and that girl
Just me and that girl

Yeah and all these distractions and roadside attractions
And time and distance can never erase
Her breath like a sweet chord
Her feet on my dashboard
The back of her neck and the sun on her face

Four hundred ninety three miles
Yeah you might know me but not how I feel
For the next, four hundred ninety three miles
I got one hand in her hand and one on the wheel
I've known her forever we've only just met
And we'll always remember until we forget
Something so dusty seems shiny and new
We just roll on
Into the blue
Into the blue
Into the blue

Four hundred ninety three miles
We're passing through nowhere
Where no one can find us
For the next four hundred ninety three miles
We won't look back or turn back
There's nothing behind us
Four hundred ninety three miles
It's four hundred ninety three miles
For the next, four hundred ninety three miles
It's me and that girl just me and that girl
Just me and that girl
