lyrics

Miles of open road between the two of us
Thumbin on down the line – my clothes all covered in dust
By the time I get to be by your side, I'll be too tired to move.
Been movin my feet for three straight days but I'd like to see you soon.

(Chorus)
I've got one sip left of my whiskey, a half empty bottle of gin.
Down this road about a hundred times but I wont be back again.
I've got nothing left that I can call my own
I'm headed back to you my Darlin, cuz thats where I call home.

I walked on down the road and saw the mountains covered in snow.
I hope you've got that fire going to warm our little home.
Don't set me a plate for dinner tonight – just leave a bit on the stove.
I'll make you a promise right here, my love, it's the last time you'll eat alone.

(Chorus)

I walked into our town, and the birds all started to sing.
I wonder what you might say when I get you that wedding ring.
You looked so good when you were in my dreams, but now you're standing right there in the door.
After all these places and all these towns there's no one I want to see more.

(Chorus)
