It's been a way too long Since I held you darling in my arms A thousand more miles And I'll be by your side I ache for you every night It feels so wrong To leave you all alone I'll settle down someday For now I've got to stray I'm still yours even when I'm not home Tired, dirty and bruised But I won't sway Only time and distance stand in my way I drive all through the night Just to see your jade eyes shiming in the morning light I love you darling I'm almost home
