Change could not come
So we wait for a chance to return
Everything that we know
Depends on the weather
Green fields and blue skies
Leave
Dirt roads and highways
They lead the way
The street signs say
Everything that is needed to be known
Boy, look how we've grown
Now I see the city lights
They stretch above my head so high
Reminding me that we can only stand so tall
I can't do this on my own
It gets lonely on the road
16 days 'til I am home
I will not make it alone
Chris sees my pain and tells me "it's alright"
"Try not to think about her tonight"
If he knew what he was I would say
I can't do this on my own
It gets lonely on the road
16 days 'til I am home
I will not make it alone
And every day, when I'm away
It feels like something is being torn away from me
I miss her touch, I miss her eyes
There's nothing worse than being alone these summer nights
I can't do this on my own
It gets lonely on the road
16 days 'til I am home
I will not make it alone
This is the last day
And I don't know how I made it through
Without your smile
Without your taste
These miles retrace
One by one
Inching our way home
Oh god
I've been awaiting this day
Since the day I went away
I'm calling
It's ringing
I hear you
I'm coming home
It's been fun
But we're all played out and the tour is done
We're making our way home
Mile by mile
Of green trees and black roads
For the past two months this is all we've known
All we know
Are these roads
Down which we go
And I am home
