Almost Home

[Chorus]
Miles of empty skies and ever-winding streets
So incomplete and all alone
When I close my eyes, I always see your face
I hear your voice, I'm almost home

[Verse 1]
Well, I've always been an in-and-out sorta fella
And my mind gets to roamin', I guess
But when I'm far away, I can still see that day
And you in that little white dress

[Verse 2]
Remember that flat tire out on Route 41?
We had to thumb a ride in the rain
And when we swimming naked in your old man's pond
Drunk and singing "Sweet Dream"?

[Chorus]
Miles of empty skies and ever-winding streets
So incomplete and all alone
When I close my eyes, I always see your face
I hear your voice, I'm almost home

[Verse 3]
Those lonely bus-station nights
Always checking fights
Wrapped up in my sleeping bag beneath the city lights
Another rest stop
Another toll
Another time zone
Another bowl

[Chorus]
Miles of empty skies and ever-winding streets
So incomplete and all alone
When I close my eyes, I always see your face
I hear your voice, I'm almost home

[Verse 4]
Now I'm far across the water, longing to be warm
You're my shelter from danger
My anchor in the storm
But it's hard to set down some roots
When you always got mud on your boots
When you always got mud on your boots

[Chorus]
Miles of empty skies and ever-winding streets
So incomplete and all alone
When I close my eyes, I always see your face
I hear your voice, I'm almost home
I hear your voice, I'm almost home
I hear your voice, I'm almost home
