There's a distant place calling me
I miss my family, my children
And as strange as it sounds, I even miss my dog
Out here, the world fades away
Time flies like a breeze, the Sun burns my face on this long road
But there's no time to stop
I carry with me the sustenance for those I love so much
I'm in the driver's seat, cutting through this dusty highway
Sun and rain, night and day
I still see their smiles in my mind
It's time to go back home
To see my family, my parents again

The highway stretches like a lonesome prayer
Miles and memories are all I bear
Through dust and rain and burning Sun
This old truck's pushin' till the day is done

I'm bringing home the love, bringing home the pay
To the ones I'm dreaming of each lonely day
Through Sun and storm and roads unknown
This weary driver's turning home

I see my daughter's laugh in every sunrise glow
My son's bright eyes in rivers as they flow
And even old duke waggin' his tail
Waiting for my shadow on that familiar trail

I'm bringing home the love, bringing home the pay
To the ones I'm dreaming of each lonely day
Through Sun and storm and roads unknown
This weary driver's turning home

Man, this mood's gonna be so good
Hey harmonica player, take it away
Play me a long, deep solo right there
Let that thing cry

The city lights fade in my rearview mirror
Home's getting closer, my vision's clearer
Another hour, another bend
This lonely journey's near its end

I'm bringing home the love, bringing home the pay
To the ones I'm dreaming of each lonely day
Through Sun and storm and roads unknown
This weary driver's turning home

Time flies like a breeze
But now I see the old oak tree
Almost home
Guitar and harmonica fade to silence
