Twenty-Two Forty-Five Miles

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty years back I was passing through, Home for a visit, sky so blue, Saw a woman bold and fine, Fire in her eyes, ahead of her time. I drove back west down a winding road, Never knew where that spark would go. [Chorus] Susan June, I got you, Through the sunshine and the rain, You melt into my arms, never pull away, You helped me see who I am today. She's a dancer and I have 2 left feet, But darlin', you make this old heart beat. [Verse 2] Then one day, there you were again, A post from a long lost friend, You'd lost your love, the world shut down, I said, "Let's grab some lunch in town." Twenty-two forty-five miles I drove, Two years of calls on the open road. [Chorus] Susan June, I got you, Through the sunshine and the rain, You melt into my arms, never pull away, You helped me see who I am today. She's a dancer and I have 2 left feet, But darlin', you make this old heart beat. [Bridge] We're sixty-eight and seventy-eight, I wish I'd found you young, But a love like this was worth the wait, You're the one, you're the one. [Verse 3] Our bodies ache, the years get long, We drift apart, then find our song, You love the woods and the wild birds' call, Kind and nurturing through it all. When we push away, I'll pull you near, I'll love you till my end of time, my dear. [Chorus] Susan June, I got you, Through the sunshine and the rain, You melt into my arms, never pull away, You helped me see who I am today. She's a dancer and I have 2 left feet, But darlin', you make this old heart beat. [Outro] Two left feet, but I'll follow you, Forever, Susan June.
