When I'm lonesome and I'm far from home
And in the night some whistle cries
I get real quiet and I think of you
And I can close my eyes
Out on some wind blown interstate
Where the eighteen wheeler flies
I think of you, I hear you laugh
And I can close my eyes
When the day is full of stranger's faces
And angels in disguise
It's then I know you would be proud of me
And I can close my eyes
I walk the streets, the shadows fall
The sun sets low in the sky
My rambling rolls me right back to you
And I can close my eyes
Sometimes my heart runs away from this life
But your love knows where it hides
Calls me back, holds me now
So I can close my eyes
I wake up scared, sometimes I do
Feel the worries in me ride
I hear the song that you sing to our children
And I can close my eyes
