Lyrics

[Verse 1] Jet fuel and traffic lines Pulling up to the Delta signs Distant shape of my hometown Black stain where the wheels touch down I pick up the morning news I pass the man who's never shined my shoes Through security and to the train That'll take me to the airplane [Verse 2] Count the miles on the highway The sum of all my days There's a postcard, there's a call And there's a picture for your bedroom wall But do you ever wonder through and through Who's that person standing next to you? And after all the nights apart Is there a home for a traveling heart? [Chorus] But if I weren't leaving you I don't know what I would do But the more I go, the less I know Will the fire still burn on my return? Keep the path lit on the only road I know Honey, all I know to do is go [Verse 3] A cup of coffee and my bags are packed Same vow not to look back Familiar emptiness inside As the distances grow wide And though I vow to memorize Last look in your loving eyes It's here dusk and there dawn Oh, it's like a curtain getting slowly drawn [Chorus] But if I weren't leaving you I don't know what I would do But the more I go, the less I know Will the fire still burn on my return? Keep the path lit on the only road I know Honey, all I know to do is go [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] But if I weren't leaving you I don't know what I would do Oh but the more I go it seems the less I know Will the fire still burn on my return? Keep the path lit on the only road I know Honey, all I know to do is go
