Story behind the song

Alex had this great guitar part that was stumping me for lyrics. I finally thought of the right words while I was driving home from school. I needed to get them on paper, but couldn't stop. Driving and writing is dangerous.  I think I accidentally honked my horn a couple of times.

Lyrics

Sign on the roadside says fifty miles to go
It feels like a lifetime of driving this road

50 more miles to go
I turn on the radio 
50 more miles to go
I still feel so far from home

Lights on the highway spark fires in my eyes
Dotted lines run by and I’m mesmerized

50 more miles to go
And time is moving so slow
50 more miles to go 
I still feel so far from home
50 more miles to go
The only way that I know
50 more miles to go
I feel I’m light years from home

Digits on the dashboard say how far I’ve come
My tired eyes are fixed on the increasing sum

50 more miles to go
And time is moving so slow
50 more miles to go 
I still feel so far from home
50 more miles to go
The only way that I know
50 more miles to go
I feel I’m light years from home

When I get down to that last road to home
It’s cracked and it’s broken but I know it’s my own

50 more miles to go
The only way that I know
50 more miles to go 
I still feel so far from home
50 more miles to go
The end is starting to show
50 more miles to go
I’m getting closer to home
