100 Miles To Charleston

When we left that late November day, it was colder than I had remembered 
Driving in an old Dodge Aries, we were trying to make our way down those snowy roads that storm delivered 

And we’re a hundred miles to Charleston 
There’s still several more to go 
The night is almost gone 
And there’s a lot of road behind me and the sky is black and cold 
And I can’t wait to see the sun again 

If there’s no relief in sight, we’re heading home 
These plans we made will be long forgotten 
How I’d love to make that drive down Summerville Road 
And see your smiling face as we sit around the table 

And we’re a hundred miles to Charleston 
There’s still several more to go 
The night is almost gone 
And there’s a lot of road behind me and the sky is black and cold 
And I can’t wait to see the sun again 

Now I need some coffee to help me stay awake 
My eyes, they seem a little strained 
So lead me on star and help me make it through the night 
We’ve got to get to where we’re going 

And we’re a hundred miles to Charleston 
There’s still several more to go 
The night is almost gone 
And there’s a lot of road behind me and the sky is black and cold 
And I can’t wait to see the sun again
