[Short Intro: Lead guitar solo and rhythm guitar] [Verse 1] Forty-six years, and I’m out for the check From Laredo to Fort Worth, it’s a pain in the neck The work truck gave out, it’s a hell of a view Now I’m stuck on this bus, just writing for you [Bridge] And all my songs are turnin’ out the same I look out at the rain and no one’s to blame. [Chorus] I’m Fifty-five miles from San Antonio Broke down at a truck stop Watching the pouring rain Paintin’ frowns upon my pain I’m Fifty-five miles from San Antonio The job was a grind, now the engine is blown Woman, I’m tired, I just want to be home I’ll get there, as soon as I can. [Verse 2] The job took me north, past the Austin lights Now I'm trading the tools for these lonely nights Thinking of home, and the girls that I’m missin’ This seat's getting cold, I can still feel you kissin’ [Bridge] Playin’ my guitar at the back of the bus Goin’ nowhere fast just thinkin’ of us. [Repeat Chorus] [Musical Interlude: piano, guitar, fiddle] [Outro] I’m Fifty-Five miles from San Antonio Woman, I’m coming home …. To you. [©2026 By Matthew E Treviño]
