Hundred Miles - Gillian Welch

Got a dusty neck and a bent back low

Feel the heat rise up off the red dog road

And up ahead's just more of the road not showin'

That's a hundred miles that I'm going

It's a long way up and a long way back

Ain't no shortcut and no sidetrack

And it ain't one sign of a shade tree growing

That's a hundred miles that I'm going

That's a hundred miles to get back to you

Been a hundred years maybe two

I see the road stretch out for the old home place

I see a glad tear standing on grandma's face

Gonna get some love and a big hello in

That's a hundred miles that I'm going

Got a dusty neck and a bent back low

Feel the heat rise up off the red dog road

And up ahead's just more of the road not showing

That's a hundred miles that I'm going
