Romi Mayes - When You Ask Lyrics

He knows she won't call, won't be dropping by
Too many roads between them, too many reasons why
Every time he thinks of her, lyrics that he never heard
Could almost make him cry
When you ask if he's alright
He just turns his back and says goodnight
He thinks about the prairies, thinks about the road
Thinks about a woman he can't call his own
Her number in his pocket, her face in every crowd
He wants to be a stronger man
He just don't know how
When he gets home you're waiting at the door
He tries to be the man he was before
He thinks of skipping town, a note beside the bed
Hopin that the one he loves will someday take him in
But he knows that he won't go, there's just too much at stake
The years that they have paved between them
Always make him stay
When you ask what's on his mind
He tries his best to leave her behind
You know she won't call, won't be dropping by
Too many roads between them, too many reasons why
Every time he thinks of her, lyrics he never heard
Could almost make him cry
When you ask what's on his mind
He tries his best to leave her behind
When you ask if he's alright
He just turns his back and says goodnight
