Racing Home To You
Don’t bother to ring the doorbell.
The key is under the mat, as usual.
I pray that you are doing well.
Go right in & make yourself comfortable.
I’m not there, due to circumstances beyond my control.
I’ll explain all when I’m home as well.
The remote is in its pouch.
Get a cold beer out of the fridge.
Make yourself at home on the couch.
You have been gone a long, long time.
My heart has ached every minute you were away.
Without you here, I’ve been pretty much a grouch.
I am on the road, racing home to you.
Not being there has left me blue.
I want you to know my love has been true.
So, I am racing home to you.
This old truck won’t go fast enough.
It has been so long, I can hardly wait
Life without you has been real rough.
I hope & pray you are really home to stay.
The hurting is almost over for us.
You back in my arms will be enough.
I know when you left, you had to go.
I only prayed that you would return.
Now it’s here & I want you to know.
I would of given anything to be there now.
But, things happen & it just couldn’t be.
I will be there before the sun dips low.
I am on the road racing home to you.
Not being there has left me blue.
I want you to know my love has been true.
So, I am racing home to you.
