  So far  away
doesn't  anybody stay in one place  anymore?
It  would be so fine  to see your face  at my door.
doesn't  help to know  that you're just time  away.
 Long ago I reached for you and there  you stood.
Holding  you again  could only do  me good.
  Oh,  how I wish  I  could
  but you're  so far  away.
One  more song about moving  along the highway
can't  say much of anything  that's new.
 If I  could only work my life out my  way
 I'd  rather spend  it being close  to you
  but you're so far  away
Doesn't  anybody stay in one place  anymore?
It  would be so fine  to see your face  at my door.
doesn't help  to  know  that you're just time away
Traveling  around sure gets  me down and lonely
nothin'  else to do  but close my mind.
I  sure don't hope the road don't come to own  me
 There's so  many dreams  I've  yet to find
  but you're so far away
doesn't  anybody stay in one place  anymore
it  would be so fine  to see your face  at my door
doesn't help  to  know that  you're so far  away
