lyrics

(instrumental)

You live two towns over and it might as well be Spain
Forty minutes of a highway and a level crossing
I know the exact spot the radio goes quiet
And I sing over the static so you don't hear me stalling

I've been driving here since April (since April)
I've worn a groove into the road
You keep saying come on Friday
I keep saying yeah, I know

Two towns over, two towns over
Every mile of it's the best part of my week
Two towns over, two towns over
I'd drive it twice as far to hear you speak

Your porch light's got a moth thing going on
Your mother waves and doesn't ask my business
I brought you peaches from the stand at Miller's Bend
And you ate three and never said a thing about it

(key change up)
Ask me to stay one night and I will never leave
Ask me twice and I'll bring the dog and the guitar
I'm not being romantic — I've already packed the car

Two towns over, two towns over
Every mile of it's the best part of my week
Two towns over, two towns over
I'd drive it twice as far to hear you speak

(two towns over...)
