Almost Home

It's been a way too long
Since I held you darling in my arms
A thousand more miles
And I'll be by your side
I ache for you every night
It feels so wrong
To leave you all alone
I'll settle down someday
For now I've got to stray
I'm still yours even when I'm not home

Tired, dirty and bruised
But I won't sway
Only time and distance stand in my way
I drive all through the night
Just to see your jade eyes shiming in the morning light
I love you darling
I'm almost home
