Well she's crying
'Cause I'm not around
Oh these days I wonder why
I can't see the sky from my dusty ground
And she listens
For that old rumbling sound
Of my wheels up the drive
But she'll fall asleep with the lights because I won't be home
I know I can't come home quite just yet
Last night I put all my money on red
The ground keeps moving to take back my steps
So You know i can't come home quite just yet
I've been walking
Retrace my steps
I lost something awhile back
Don't know where it's at
But it's gone
Sure is lonesome
Being so far away
But I'll tell you what's worse
Being so close at first
Yet somehow drifting away
So I'll keep walking
This old lonesome road
I'll find solace in these long branches
As the wind helps them dance
And I'll sing too
If I get there
I'll write home to her
Let her know it was worth it
I sure don't deserve it
But I hope she'll hear me sing
