Verse 1
You’re a thousand miles from this old hometown,
Different sunset when the sun goes down.
I got your picture hanging by my bed,
And your voice still echoes in my head.
Every night it’s a call at ten,
Talking ‘bout when we’ll meet again.
Girl, I hate that I can’t hold you tight,
So I hold onto every word all night.
Chorus
She’s my long-distance girlfriend, my Friday night dream,
Living on phone calls and a glowing screen.
Yeah, I miss her kiss and the way she laughs,
Wish I could trade these miles for a different path.
But every goodbye just makes me see,
She’s worth every mile between her and me.
And I’d drive all night, girl, if I could,
‘Cause a long-distance love’s still a real love.
Verse 2
My buddies ask me how we make it work,
When every day feels like a little hurt.
I tell ‘em she’s the first thing on my mind,
Every morning and every night.
Ain’t no other girl got my heart this way,
Even from a hundred counties away.
Yeah, the road is long, but I know it’s true,
Every mile leads me back to you.
Chorus
She’s my long-distance girlfriend, my Friday night dream,
Living on phone calls and a glowing screen.
Yeah, I miss her kiss and the way she laughs,
Wish I could trade these miles for a different path.
But every goodbye just makes me see,
She’s worth every mile between her and me.
And I’d drive all night, girl, if I could,
‘Cause a long-distance love’s still a real love.
Bridge
One day there won’t be a countdown clock,
Won’t be staring at a dot on a map.
You’ll be riding shotgun down these backroads,
And I won’t have to wonder when you’re coming back.
Final Chorus
She’s my long-distance girlfriend, but not for long,
We’ve been holding on and staying strong.
And when I finally get to hold her close,
I’ll thank God for every mile of road.
‘Cause all this waiting’s gonna be worth it someday,
When I don’t have to watch you drive away.
Yeah, she’s my long-distance girlfriend, that’s the truth,
And every mile just makes me love her more.
