Lyrics
Miss You Tonight
Words and Music by Ron Day
V1:
Drivin' east guessin' that the radio's on,
Some song singin' in my head says I've been gone
A little too long
21 hours on the 4 lane
Truck stop coffee from Barstow cold as rain
Headin' home again
B sect:
Headlights on the highway
Hitchhike the night away
And the red lights are goin' my way...my way
Chorus:
But the Gosh Darn Rain keeps comin' down
My eyes get cloudy but the pedal stays down
And I know it must be rain caught in my eye...
OK Maybe you're right...miss you tonight...
V2:
Way too many hours of thinkin'
And far too many drinkin', cheatin' "Lonely Boy" songs
On the radio...
"OK's" somewhere in between
LA and FLA but I don't feel fine
I've got miles to go (b-sect) (Chorus)
Middle 8:
The minute I'm gone, wanna be home
Never been one just to go it alone
The happiest times are with you here by my side...Miss you tonight
