You're Gonna Have to Miss Me

I've died and gone to Nashville

And left my old songs behind

Playin' on repeat in a table top stereo

But I can still hear you cry

Girl you don't believe me when I say it won't be long

The truth is I don't know when I'll be home

I know you don't need a mansion

And you don't care for cars

But I want to show you the world

And ask God how much for the stars

I'll do it all for you

Give you everything you dream

I promise it'll all work out

But you're gonna have to miss me

Baby you can put your mask on

But it can't hide the pain in your eyes

And Mama you know I was born a Gypsy soul

But it still hurts to say goodbye

'Cause you don't believe me when I say it won't be long

The truth is I don't know when I'll be home

I know you don't need a mansion

And you don't care for cars

But I want to show you the world

And ask God how much for the stars

I'll do it all for you

Give you everything you dream

I promise it'll all work out

But you're gonna have to miss me

Since I've been gone I've seen so many faces but nothing replaces

The smell of that sweet spring southern breeze

You and them babies on the front porch swing

So cross out days til I come home

I'll cross state lines and leave time zones

Even though I've always known, oh, oh

That you don't need a mansion

And you don't care for cars

But I want to show you the world

And ask God how much for the stars

I'll do it all for you

Give you everything you dream

I promise it'll all work out

But you're gonna have to miss me

Yeah, you're gonna have to miss me

Baby, you're gonna have to miss me
