[Verse 1]
I've been driving through the mountains
As the sun beats on my cheeks
I haven't been back home
Or seen my girl in what feels like has been weeks
I just packed my bags
I locked my door
And I've come to miss my baby so
But this one town life isn't for me anymore
[Verse 2]
Now I sing my songs with pride
With a big smile on my face
My head's held high, my arms are wide, I've many dreams to chase
I don't miss my bed
I don't mind the cold
And I'll wish one day she'll come to stay, and I'll bring my baby with me on the road
[Verse 3]
And I walked through Carolina
And drove through Tennessee
I made my way through Texas, but that's not the place for me
I need open road
I need change of pace
And I drive all day and sing all night
If I'm with my girl I've come to find my place
[Verse 4]
Finally my baby's here beside me
I've made the longest journey home
I haven't checked the time or gotten up, I don't care to check my phone
I've got all I want
I've got all I need
Her eyes are closed, her skin is warm, and she's sleeping peacefully
[Outro]
I can't think about the after
My darling's here with me
I can finally sleep and close the book
And ever live together happily
My lips are shut
There's nothing more to say
One day I'll settle down, I promise you
I've done my part
I've come back home to stay
