When I head out across the states Oh I dream of better days Until I get to where Im going A home cooked meal and an empty bed Fill my stomach and rest my head Late night talks turn into friendships Every smile and every hug Every penny and all your love Keeps me living this ol' dream That I'm so close to making be I can't thank you all enough For every little thing you've done You know just who you are Your all apart We talk of life out on the road I tell you stories and you feel so old You pray that I make it safe As I go you watch me leave I promise I'll be back next spring Until then I'll always right Of the stranger who made my night
