These Homesick Songs

It's 3 am in the dark of night, so I put my mind to work cause it's time to ride
gotta make it home before it gets light, so I can crawl in bed beside my wife
3 hours left on this dark highway, with only snow drift to light my way
My eye's are weak and my body's tired just a few more miles just a few more miles

Cause you can't fight dreams and you can't fight love, but to see em' both through is hard enough
Been on the road for so damn long with the radio playin' these homesick songs

This is the life I chose to live so one more day I gotta give, with plenty more miles that I've gotta go, tell this yellow line takes me home
This is the life I chose to live the road is now my cruel mistress, no matter where I have to roam, I will always make my way back home

I can see the haze of the city lights, welcoming me back again this time
her cracked sidewalks and city streets, call my name like a steady heart beat
been 46 hours since I slept last, I wanna feel my bed against my back
I wanna see my wife smile so wide, cause when I left I seen her cry

Cause you can't fight dreams and you can't fight love, but to see em' both through is hard enough
Been on the road for so damn long, with the radio playin' these homesick songs
