Night falls like a hammer on an anvil
Not much of nothing on my radio
I'll just drive through Texas and New Mexico
♪
I can't believe the time and miles between us
California seems a galaxy away
I've got half a country to think of what I'm going to say
As I travel all the way
From Shreveport to L.A.
Some wish for milk and honey
Some wish for pocket money
Some wish that they could get their wasted years back
Some wish for fortune and fame
Some wish for what's her name
Some wish that they could keep their lives on track
But I wish that I had you
I wish that I had you
I'm wishing all the way
From Shreveport to L.A.

I've got your picture tucked in my rearview mirror
I've got the windows down, and you can smell the heat
I've got this feeling you might have wanted me to stay back east
Well
I finally found myself parked in front of your place
I finally saw a little glimpse of your face
It's finally clear, that without me, you're doing okay
Girl, why'd I travel all this way?
From Shreveport to L.A.
Some wish for milk and honey

Sunrise only brings me down
Tires moaning down the interstate
I've got half a country to think of what I didn't say
