[audience goes wild]

Dad gave me the keys tonight
Told me bring my old lady back home by one
I combed my hair, put my good coat on
Thought I knew exactly what was going on

She waited on the porch in a pretty black dress
Red lips, perfume in the air
Slid in close and crossed her legs
Lord, how I thought so hard not to stare

Five miles out the window steamed
Her nails were running down my cheeks
She said, "Don't you take me home just yet"
So I kept on driving, knew I'd never regret

I want to hold you
I want to have you
Think I might want to keep you to me
Maybe I just wanted

One more mile, one more mile
Come on baby, stay a while
One more kiss beneath the moon
We don't have to go home this soon
One more mile, one more mile
You look so pretty when you smile
If this night could never end
I'd never have to drive you here again

Three miles out the radio cracked
Girl went missing with the southern air
Then something shifted inside of my head
I thought I could, now I'm sure that I have

One mile left, she slipped off her heels
Stocking torn just above her knee
Said, "I just wish tonight could last"
And drew one long and slow breath

I want to hold you
I want to have you
Now I know I'm going to keep you to me
Maybe I just wanted

One more mile, one more mile
Come on baby, stay a while
One more kiss beneath the moon
We don't have to go home soon
One more mile, one more mile
You look so pretty when you smile
If this night could never end
I'd never have to drive you here again

Do I take you home?
Do I take you down?
There's a quiet little place
Just outside of town

One more mile, one more mile
Come on baby, stay for a while
One more kiss beneath the moon
Nobody's coming looking soon
One more mile, one more mile
You still look pretty when you smile
If this night could never end
I'd never have to drive you here again

Again
Again
Again
