=Verse 1= It's been awhile and a million miles Since I've seen the sun shine on your face A long time coming but now I'm runnin' back home Southern pines and neon signs and every backroad between the two Out of sight don't mean out of mind to me
=Chorus= Carry on this way I'm singin' to you from somewhere tonight am I getting through? (Is it getting through?) I choke on every word and it never comes out right This would be so much easier standing next to you
=Verse 2= I didn't know what I was lookin' for But I found it when I took your hand The cheshire smile still cuts me down to the bone Preacher says it's for rich or poor We see a lot of the latter of two I've been gone so long I'm afraid I might be losin' you
