I only knew you from Three months of tour, and a cellular phone We talked of the midwest And i learned all of that you left behind Oh and the loss runs deep Your father and a friend are rug-pulled from your feet But i'll try and give you a place To lay your tired head, And hide your lonely face There's a bed waiting for you, There's a light that i left on, There's a purpose in the distance in The things that i've done wrong You came to stay with us A week in the south, you weren't missing much The day that you left it rained And the cold weather up north was calling your name So i helped you pack your bags Folding your shirts, the clothes on your back Home never felt so far And the morning i found sweaters you dropped in my front yard There's a bed waiting for you, There's a light that i left on, There's a purpose in the distance in the things that i've done wrong Be careful how you hold yourself, i know You worry what might happen but i swear it wont So i'm waiting for your voice to make a sound But i know every word before they leave your mouth ~Chorus~ There's a place that you live in, A town that you call home There's a state that you visit, But you never stay too long
