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
