Lyrics
0:27A lonely road crossed another cold state line
0:34Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
0:40While I recall all the words you spoke to me
0:48Can't help but wish that I was there
0:51Back where I'd love to be
0:54Oh yeah
0:56Dear God the only thing I ask of you
1:01Is to hold her when I'm not around when I'm much too far away
1:08We all need that person who can be true to you
1:15But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
1:22Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no
1:32Once again
1:34There's nothing here for me on this barren road
1:39There's no one here while the city sleeps
1:43And all the shops are closed
1:46Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
1:53Pictures and some memories will have to help me through oh yeah
2:01Dear God the only thing I ask of you
2:06Is to hold her when I'm not around when I'm much too far away
2:13We all need that person who can be true to you
2:20But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
2:27Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no
2:37Once again
2:42Some search never finding a way
2:49Before long they waste away
2:55I found you something told me to stay
3:03I gave in to selfish ways
3:09And how I miss someone to hold
3:14When hope begins to fade
3:16A lonely road crossed another cold state line
3:22Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
3:29Dear God the only thing I ask of you
3:35Is to hold her when I'm not around when I'm much too far away
3:42We all need that person who can be true to you
3:49But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
3:56Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no
4:06Once again
A lonely road crossed another cold state line Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find While I recall all the words you spoke to me Can't help but wish that I was there Back where I'd love to be Oh yeah Dear God the only thing I ask of you Is to hold her when I'm not around when I'm much too far away We all need that person who can be true to you But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no Once again There's nothing here for me on this barren road There's no one here while the city sleeps And all the shops are closed Can't help but think of the times I've had with you Pictures and some memories will have to help me through oh yeah Dear God the only thing I ask of you Is to hold her when I'm not around when I'm much too far away We all need that person who can be true to you But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no Once again Some search never finding a way Before long they waste away I found you something told me to stay I gave in to selfish ways And how I miss someone to hold When hope begins to fade A lonely road crossed another cold state line Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find Dear God the only thing I ask of you Is to hold her when I'm not around when I'm much too far away We all need that person who can be true to you But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missing you again oh no Once again
