Across the Susquehanna

Tonight I’ll drive 400 miles alone
And in this pain I’m reacquainted with the records on my radio
I know you’re tired of all these weeks that I’ve left you alone
But before the dawn I’m across the Susquehanna coming home

You say this separation brings you down
As you drive by city skyline and all the new construction in this town
Well it might burn a little; we used to be so simple
I know it’s hard but I’m coming home to you

Pedal down and I’m out here on my own
400 miles and singing to these roads
Tonight I’m feeling so defeated, it’s breaking up my bones
But I’ll be back before the dawn, across the Susquehanna coming home

In case my good intentions bring you down…
And you’re feeling so mistreated; lost and all alone, I’m not around
Well it won’t last forever, this mid-Atlantic weather
Before the dawn…you know I’m coming home

Before the sun begins to break across our lawn I will be home
I will be home

With the pedal down, I’m out here on my own
400 miles and singing to these roads
Tonight I’m feeling so defeated, it’s breaking up my bones
But I’ll be back before the dawn, across the Susquehanna coming home

Tonight I’ll drive 400 miles alone
But before the dawn I’m across the Susquehanna coming home
