The Being Gone

[Verse 1]
Well I'm headed back from Dallas, two days gone and gone to hell
And I can't keep my eyes open–far as I know, just as well
I could make it to a truck stop on the highway across the line
If I can make it back to you, back to you, then I'll be fine

[Verse 2]
All this sense that I've been makin' makes no sense to me at all
And the chances I keep takin' up the chances that I'll fall
Into the hole that I've been digging for myself into the dirt
If I can make it back to you then maybe no one will get hurt

[Chorus]
But the headwinds on the highway
Eighty-five past one more town
I ain't seen you face since Friday
Long to set my suitcase down
We've been holdin' it together
We've been wakin' up alone
I can't tell if all this leavin'
Is worth the bein' gone
Is worth the bein' gone

[Verse 3]
Well the sunlight in the window, through the blinds, onto the floor
Makes me realize I've been in those shadow lines sometime before
One small step out of the dark into the light
One more, babe, and I can make it back alright

[Chorus]
But the headwinds on the highway
Eighty-five past one more town
I ain't seen you face since Friday
Long to set my suitcase down
We've been holdin' it together
We've been wakin' up alone
I can't tell if all this leavin'
Is worth the bein' gone
Is worth the bein' gone
