18 Hours
by John Michael Ray

Well it's 6:00 in the morning
And I'm getting up a little earlier than I usually do
There's somewhere I just got to go
Down that long and winding road to get to you

Where the sun is gonna shine and the rain ain't gonna fall
Cause we're gonna be together, gonna have ourselve's a ball
The stars will shine so bright and the clouds will disappear
Cause I'm coming down to see you, can you feel me getting near

Customs stop through Buffalo
Across I-90 here I go, it's half past 8
There's snow falling in Erie
South 79 Pennsylvania, Babe I can hardly wait

Past Pittsburgh to West Virginia
See the mountains getting closer, about 4:15
Other than your eyes I think
These hills are the most precious sight I've ever seen

Where the sun is gonna shine and the rain ain't gonna fall
Cause we're gonna be together, gonna have ourselve's a ball
The stars will shine so bright and the clouds will disappear
Cause I'm coming down to see you, can you feel me getting near

Now I'm going through the tunnels
Past Beckley, Princeton, Bluefield, doing 65
Right through North Carolina
To the south I'm getting closer, I feel so alive

South Carolina's pretty
All the cotton fields remind me of how soft you were
It's 10:00 I'm almost there
Hit 17 which house is yours, I can't be sure

Your standing in the doorway
You look at me, I see your eyes, I see the tear
Wrap your arms around me
Never let me go again, Babe I'm here

Where the sun is gonna shine and the rain ain't gonna fall
Cause we're gonna be together, gonna have ourselve's a ball
The stars will shine so bright and the clouds will disappear
Cause I'm coming down to see you, can you feel me getting near
