99 Miles To Macon

Heat hazes blue
Over the trees
It’s 105 degrees
On an August afternoon
And you’re drifting off the road
But we won’t stop in Valdosta
Because of your dream

And it’s 99 miles to Macon
Semi’s block the sun and
The shadows from the pines
Caution the bridge may ice in winter
Comes the refrain
On our summer, southern drive

And what would I see
If I stopped the car
And walked out into the trees
Orange blossom, honey
A beautiful hand
Look the birds land
White wings on red dirt

And it’s 99 miles to Macon…

Bridge:
I know it’s going to get colder
I know you’re going to see
Pieces you didn’t want to be there
And I’ll have to show you
Everything
To make you understand
