Letters to Home

Empty pages in my notebook I think about home,

Cause I'm a travelin' gypsy and I'm a rollin' stone,

I get a call from my son but I can't talk right now,

I'm gettin' ready for the show and it's all so loud,

And I can hear his little heartbreak, hang up the phone,

And as I head up to the stage, bout to get in my zone,

I turn to look at the promoter and I pick up the phone,

And tell 'em all that they can wait I got a family at home,

And there ain't no amount of money that could ever be owned,

to make me lose the way I made it, I ain't never alone,

I just wanna be the greatest in the humblest tone,

And set the best of an example, how to really be grown,

Cause I just hate all of the distance my dream has bestowed,

And all of the memories I'm missin' from my time on the road,

I could never take it back, it's all that I know,

I just save it for my notebook and my letters to home.

I want nothin' else then to stay right here and fade away,

Let my voice be clear then my words won’t hurt if I could I’d stay, oh,

But I gotta go and you oughta know it’s the sweetest goodbye,

That’s a lotta road that I gotta hold in between you and I.

But I gotta go and you oughta know it’s the sweetest goodbye,

That’s a lotta road that I gotta hold in between you and I.

I can't imagine bein' with me sharin' me with the road,

Ya the money is good but really we are alone,

Bright lights in the venue while you're sittin' at home,

It's like my heart belongs to you but really only on loan,

Cause I been married to this music and it's all that I know,

I'm tryin' to change but my brand is really starting to grow,

I promise you that I will call you once I get through the show,

I always forget and damn it I'm gonna reap what I sow,

If I don't slow my roll and make a better effort,

I can hear you say goodbye and it's probably foreva,

If didn't make a promise I can never break a heart,

But if I never break a heart then I was lonely from the start, damn.

I want nothin' else then to stay right here and fade away,

Let my voice be clear then my words won’t hurt if I could I’d stay, oh,

But I gotta go and you oughta know it’s the sweetest goodbye,

That’s a lotta road that I gotta hold in between you and I.

But I gotta go and you oughta know it’s the sweetest goodbye,

That’s a lotta road that I gotta hold in between you and I.
