I left California crossed through Arizona And the desert of New Mexico Up through Colorado through the mountain shadows With Denver on the radio Out of Kansas City heading for St. Louis Crossed the Mississippi today I got tickets in my pocket From flying like a rocket clear across the USA Hear the wheels a hummin' Baby I'm coming home All I see is your face Dancing in the headlights glow I'm an overnight rider Burining up the miles that are keeping us apart I'm an overnight rider Rolling down the highway to your heart Halfway through Kentucky Thought that I got lucky found someone to help me drive She wake me in Atlanta said I'm home now thank you Mister you're a heck of a guy Crossed the Carolina's trying to make the time up Smoking up ninety five From Richmond to Philly the trip nearly killed me Now I see the New York City lights
