Story behind the song

Some Things You Can Never Out-Distance

Lyrics

On a Blue Kentucky Highway
Driving through the pouring rain
Seems nothing's gone my way 
Since I left L.A.
She was crying in the California sun
When I told her I'd be better off alone
But now I'm 10 states away ...thinking maybe I was wrong

From LA to Arizona
Moving on through Oklahoma
Each time I thought I'd found a place....
where I could stay....that's when her memory came
And kept me rolling on through Arkansas
I never dreamed I'd have to go this far
But I can't seem to drive the thought of her away
Not even on this Blue Kentucky Highway

I thought I left with all my reasons
The day I drove away
But the more miles I put between us...
The less sense those reasons make
I pull over to a little cafe 
And see a telephone standing in the light
I think I'll call her one more time ...just to make sure she's alright

From LA to Arizona
Moving on through Oklahoma
Each time I thought I'd found a place....
where I could stay....that's when her memory came
And kept me rolling on through Arkansas
I never dreamed I'd have to go this far
But I can't seem to drive the thought of her away
Not even on this Blue Kentucky Highway

(optional bridge) 
I could keep driving ...till this road turns into sand
And I'm standing on a Carolina Beach
But I know it wouldn't be far enough 
To put my heart out of her reach

From LA to Arizona
Moving on through Oklahoma
Each time I thought I'd found a place....
where I could stay....that's when her memory came
And kept me rolling on through Arkansas
I never dreamed I'd have to go this far
But I can't seem to drive the thought of her away
Not even on this Blue Kentucky Highway
Not even on this Blue Kentucky Highway
