So far away 
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore 
It would be so fine to see your face at my door 
Doesn't help to know you're just time away 

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood 
Holding you again could only do me good 
Oh, how I wish I could 
But you're so far away 

One more song about moving along the highway 
Can't say much of anything that's new 
If I could only work this life out my way 
I'd rather spend it being close to you 

But you're so far away 
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore 
It would be so fine to see your face at my door 
Doesn't help to know you're so far away 

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely 
Nothing else to do but close my mind 
I sure hope the road [bad word] to own me 
There's so many dreams I've yet to find 

But you're so far away 
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore 
It would be so fine to see your face at my door 
Doesn't help to know you're so far away
