Turned That Truck Around

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Five hours down that lonesome road, A heavy heart, a heavier load. You wanted out, but I couldn't stay away, So I drove all night just to have my say. Some things are worth the fight, I knew, And that something, darling, was you. [Chorus] Oh, I'd cross every mile for your love, Through the storm, under stars up above. Rita, you're the reason, the whole reason why, I turned that truck around 'neath a Tennessee sky. Here's to us and the years still to come, You're the only home I've ever known. [Verse 2] That old bar, the lights burning low, Then trouble walked in, but you didn't know. You slipped out mad, came back with fire, And that spark right there lit my whole desire. I saw forever in those angry eyes, No, I wasn't gonna tell you goodbye. [Chorus] Oh, I'd cross every mile for your love, Through the storm, under stars up above. Rita, you're the reason, the whole reason why, I turned that truck around 'neath a Tennessee sky. Here's to us and the years still to come, You're the only home I've ever known. [Bridge] Out in the sticks where the crickets sing, I got down low and I showed a ring. You said yes, and my world came alive, Best word I've heard in all my life. [Verse 3] Now here we stand, all these years on down, Still that same girl who came back around. Rita Wagner, my wife, my flame, I'd drive it all again just the same. [Chorus] Oh, I'd cross every mile for your love, Through the storm, under stars up above. Rita, you're the reason, the whole reason why, Still turning that truck 'neath a Tennessee sky. [Outro] Here's to us and the road we roam, You're the only home I've ever known.
