Watching My Baby Not Coming Back

(album: Play - 1999)

Looking out across the field is the old highway
Here comes a Ford, there goes a Chevrolet
Well, I got my heart set on seeing her Cadillac
Yeah, I'm sitting here watching my baby not coming back

I put a million miles on this rocking chair of mine
Going back and forth over everything in my mind
Well, I said this when I should have been saying that
Now I'm sitting here watching my baby not coming back

Well, I've got every single thing, I should've said memorized
For the minute that car of hers pulls up the drive
But the longer she's gone the more I realize
All that's heading my way is a broken heart
A tractor trailer and a foreign car

I've got every single thing, I should've said memorized
For the minute that car of hers pulls up the drive
But the longer she's gone, the more I realize
All that's heading my way is a broken heart
A tractor trailer and a foreign car

I'm watching everything that comes around the curve
Sitting here wishing that I'd gone after her
But at that time I was much too proud for that
Now I'm sitting here watching my baby not coming back
Yeah, I'm sitting here watching my baby not coming back
Oh, sitting here watching my baby not coming back
