------  x2
 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
 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  the person  who can be  true to you
 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
