Daddy works hard as a traveling salesman You know he’s just gotta pay them bills, man And momma don’t work Unless she’s down at the church
Sister got herself a bachelor’s degree More than you can say about me I’m feeling low Out here on the road
It’s been a long time since I started runnin’, baby Long time since I’ve seen you Wish you woulda told me that you loved me this way Forever’s way too late Could have been my baby
Pickin’ it up and puttin’ it down Chasin’ dreams around this broke down town Now I need A little time to breathe
I remember when you caught my eye Ain’t it funny how time flies by But before long I had to get gone
It’s been a long time since I started runnin’, baby Long time since I’ve seen you Wish you woulda told me that you loved me this way Forever’s way too late Could have been my baby
Goodbye baby, goodbye home Sorry for leavin’ you on your own Wish I could stay, just gotta go Gotta keep, keep rollin’ down that road
It’s been a long time since I started runnin’, baby Long time since I’ve seen you Wish you woulda told me that you loved me this way Forever’s way too late Could have been my baby You could have been my baby
