Shreveport To La
by: Keni ThomasNight falls like a hammer on an avil
Stations fadin' on the radio
I'll keep driving throught Texas and New Mexico
Can't believe the time and miles between us
California seems a glaxy away
Got half the country to think of what i want to say
Yeah travelin' all that way
From Shreveport to L.A.
Chorus
Some wish for milk and honey
Some wish for pocket money
Some wish they could have their wasted years back
Some wish for fortune fame
some wish for what's her name?
Some wish they could get their lives of track
yeah i wish that i had you, i wish that i had, i wished it all the way from Shreveport to L.A.
Sunrise is comin' up behind me
Windows down and i can smell the heat
Fighting this feeling i sould have made the stay back east
And i got your picture honey in my rearview mirror now
Tires moanin' on the interstate
I got half the country to think of what i want to say
Travelin' all that way
From shreveport to L.A.
Chorus
Some with for milk and honey
Some wish for pocket money
Some wish they could have their wasted years back
Some wish for fortune fame
Some wish for what's her name
Some wish they could get their lives on track
yeah i wish that i had you, i wish that i had you, i'm wishin' all the way
From shreveport to L.A.
Yeah, I wish that I had you
I wish that I had you
I wish that I had you
Oh I wish that I had you
I wish that I had you
I'm wishin' all the way from shreveport to L.A.
