Got a dusty neck and a bent back low
Feel the heat rise up over red dog road
Up ahead's just more of the road not showin'
That's a hundred miles that I'm goin1

It's a long way up and a long way back
Ain't no short cut and no sidetrack
And there ain’t no sign of a shade tree growing
That's a hundred miles that I'm goin'

That's a hundred miles to get back to you
Been a hundred years and maybe two

See the road stretch out to the old home place
See a glad tear standing on grandma’s face
Gonna get some love and a big hello in
That's a hundred miles that I'm goin'

That's a hundred miles to get back to you
Been a hundred years or maybe two

Got a dusty neck and a bent back low
Feel the heat rise up over red dog road
Up ahead's just more of the road not showin'
That's a hundred miles that I'm goin'

That's a hundred miles that I'm goin'
