If You Have To Go Away |
When I was a younger |
I used to dream a lot |
Staring into my coffee |
About how you’d love me |
And write me poetry |
And want to be with me, yeah |
Well, momma done told me |
You might wander far, yeah |
But nobody warned me |
The road would own your heart |
And so I’m saying |
If you have to go away |
I will be waiting by the phone |
And if you have to go away |
I’ll put your records on |
Pretend you’re still at home |
Now that I’m older |
I sit at home a lot |
With the kid we’ve got, yeah |
The radio’s playing |
He really loves his wife |
I hear the D.J. |
saying |
Well momma done told me |
You might wander far, oh |
As long as you hold me |
More than you hold that guitar |
I’ll keep on saying |
If you have to go away |
I’ll leave your shoes beside the bed |
And if you have to go away |
I’ll want to be with you |
I’ll be with me instead |
If you have to go away |
I won’t be sleeping very well |
But if you have to go away |
I’ll be loving you |
Till it’s cold in hell |
Maybe you’ll write me this time |
Maybe you’ll call on a static line |
Saying don’t you ever worry your pretty mind |
Cause you and me are gonna be fine |
And so I’m saying |
If you have to go away |
I will be waiting by the phone |
And if you have to go away |
I’ll put your records on |
Pretend you’re still at home |
If you have to go away |
I’ll leave your shoes beside the bed |
And if you have to go away |
I’ll want to be with you |
I’ll be with me instead |
If you have to go away |
I won’t be sleeping very well |
But if you have to go away |
I’ll be loving you |
I’ll be loving you |
If you have to go away |
