You're Gonna Have to Miss Me

I've died and gone to Nashville
And left my old songs behind
Playin' on repeat in a table top stereo
But I can still hear you cry
Girl you don't believe me when I say it won't be long
The truth is I don't know when I'll be home

I know you don't need a mansion
And you don't care for cars
But I want to show you the world
And ask God how much for the stars
I'll do it all for you
Give you everything you dream
I promise it'll all work out
But you're gonna have to miss me

Baby you can put your mask on
But it can't hide the pain in your eyes
And Mama you know I was born a Gypsy soul
But it still hurts to say goodbye
'Cause you don't believe me when I say it won't be long
The truth is I don't know when I'll be home

I know you don't need a mansion
And you don't care for cars
But I want to show you the world
And ask God how much for the stars
I'll do it all for you
Give you everything you dream
I promise it'll all work out
But you're gonna have to miss me

Since I've been gone I've seen so many faces but nothing replaces
The smell of that sweet spring southern breeze
You and them babies on the front porch swing
So cross out days til I come home
I'll cross state lines and leave time zones
Even though I've always known, oh, oh

That you don't need a mansion
And you don't care for cars
But I want to show you the world
And ask God how much for the stars
I'll do it all for you
Give you everything you dream
I promise it'll all work out
But you're gonna have to miss me
Yeah, you're gonna have to miss me
Baby, you're gonna have to miss me
