Story Behind The Song
I've always loved the upbeat, minor country feel. At the time I wrote it, I was looking to make a change myself, and I did and I'm happy!

Lyrics
He's heading down South 35, on his way to San Antone
He's sure a better life is filled with bluer skies
He left his life, he left his wife, he left his home
It's been a struggle but he's working it out
Runnin' and searchin' on his own
He's heading where the only thing that counts
Is counting the miles in between
In between his life and San Antone
He pulls back the covers, he'll miss her sweet caress
Didn't plan to be that lonesome
Does his best to fight the loneliness
But it's better than fighting at home
It's been a struggle but he's working it out
Runnin' and searchin' on his own
He's heading where the only thing that counts
Is counting the miles in between
In between his life and San Antone
He knows tomorrow, he'll make that phone call
But tomorrow, he'll be just as gone
He's sure a better life, he deserves most of all
He left his life, he left his wife, he left his home
It's been a struggle but he's working it out
Runnin' and searchin' on his own
He's heading where the only thing that counts
Is counting the miles in between
In between his life and San Antone
