Miles of highway, between me and my home I think about you, when it rains and I'm alone Another day, another memory The sun disappears Another morning
Out there in a sea of lights, and strangers rushing in the night I'm lonesome for a time When I had you and felt complete, and then you sailed away
Blew out the candles and made a wish And I hoped it would come true I had a feeling, that I was dreaming When I wished for you Chorus: I wish that
On a trading path, through the Carolinas Used by Indians who braved the wind & rain They settled down beside the raging waters And they worked the
Remember when it was fun, to stay up all night long We stayed out in the sun, until those summer days were gone Remember dressing fine, for a crazy
We were reckless wild and free It was like a crazy dream When I found my way to you We both had so much to lose We broke so many hearts We tried
You will never settle down You'll be ramblin' all around 'Til they put you in the cold, hard ground You will never settle down You got leavin' on
It's a cold world, sometimes I feel all alone It's a long road, that I'm rolling on And I wonder, if I'm on the path I should have taken And I'm still
You placed your hand in mine And I saw you smile We walked for a while Until the sun disappeared behind I love to hear you sing The way you laugh
Her daddy raised tobacco He was a hard workin' man There was kindness in his smile And there was strength in his hands She can't remember much about
I wanna be with you, when the day is done I wanna be with you, when the flowers come I wanna be with you, when the leaves turn brown I wanna be with
I used to see my Daddy every day He used to race me in the Carolina sun Back when he was a young man And he could plow the fields until the day was
A man in the parking lot, down on his luck Came and asked if I could spare a few bucks I shoulda helped him, I shoulda cared So before I fell asleep
I've waited all my life to find that special someone Someone I could call my own Someone to stick by me through good times and bad No more playing
Don't expect too much from my poor old heart You can blame the unforgiven for my scars You might just be the best that I can find But I can't seem.....
Couldn't stand all the pain, you caused, love was gone I know you didn't mean to hurt me, but you were cold , like a stone I didn't wanna see, a day
Loaded up the car and said goodbye Looked at that old school one last time No more homework and tears And I'll miss the friends that I made here
I can't erase the miles or the lines on my face There's no need for me to wonder where I might have been I can't get nowhere without this lonesome road
