Get Me Home

(album: Ink, Dust & Luck - 2018)

I'll be okay for one or two days
But by day number three it's starting to hit me
Just how many more
Miles before we'll be home
And now it's been four

Five days away, and I would give anything
Just for one kiss, but day number six comes and goes
And I miss
Your body and lips
And it's only been one week

Get me home
'Fore I start breaking
The toll that it's taking
On the road

Get me home
Back to my baby
My sweet lovly lady
Get me home
Get me home

Days number eight on through eleven
Are blurry and only coffee can give them
A sense of just who
I am and why I am
So far from you

Day score, a dozen
I'm flirting with coffee shop girls
They've got something, reminds me of you
Do you know what I mean?
Lucky fifteen
The beginning of spring
It's my birthday

Get me home
'Fore I start breaking
The toll that it's taking
On the road

Get me home
Back to my baby
My sweet lovely lady
Get me home
Get me home

It's a battle of wills a trial of trust
A test to the strength of us

But I swore to the death when I said "I do"
So I'll come home true if I'm breathing
Bring my love to you

Just one week more, and I'm trying not to keep score
But there's only six and then five days
Before we return
Five more days of burning
For leaving you

Four days away, and I'm trying to focus
On shows that we play
Just three, then two days
Then we're driving for home
My last day
And I want you to leave the light on

Get me home
'Fore I start breaking
The toll that it's taking
On the road

Get me home
Back to my baby
My sweet lovely lady
Get me home
Get me home
