Grace Between the Mile Markers

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a long white line that pulls me on Through the dark into the dawn Every mile marker counts me down To a porch light in my hometown Brown hair blowing, green eyes bright She's the one who keeps me right [Chorus] She's got the hardest job there is Loving a man who lives like this Faithful and strong when the nights run long She's the grace that keeps me holding on And every time that smile shines my way I'm home from a thousand miles away [Verse 2] Back when we rode in my 85 Olds Calais Metal on the radio, cranked all the way Windows rolled down, her boots on the dash Stubborn as a mule and twice as brash Chaotic and loving, naughty and sweet Jaymie, you knocked me clean off my feet [Chorus] She's got the hardest job there is Loving a man who lives like this Faithful and strong when the nights run long She's the grace that keeps me holding on And every time that smile shines my way I'm home from a thousand miles away [Bridge] I don't say it near enough Out here where the road gets rough You're my courage when I'm weak You're the guiding light I seek [Verse 3] Jaymie, you hold this house together Through every storm and every weather You never let your faith run dry When I'm gone and the days drag by So here's a song from the driver's seat For the heart that makes my life complete [Chorus] You've got the hardest job there is Loving a man who lives like this Faithful and strong when the nights run long You're the grace that keeps me holding on And every time that smile shines my way I'm home from a thousand miles away [Outro] Hold that porch light, Jaymie, I'm on my way Devoted to you every mile, every day
