While I've Been Gone
Girl, I'm sorry that the bed's been cold
It's hard to sleep without you to hold
And I hope I never get use to that
There's a picture that I keep on me
Of you and the kids smiling back at me
And it gets me thru the days til' I get back
I didn't know that I could miss you so bad
While I've been gone
I hope they didn't grow too much
And I pray you've felt my love across the miles
While I've been gone
You're all I've thought about
You're what keeps me on the ground
And makes me fly
And I've never been so thankful
For what I've got at home
While I've been gone
Baby, you're the wheels that keep this train
Right on track thru the wind and rain
And I'd hate to think of where I'd be without you
And I've gotten pretty good at tryin' not to
While I've been gone
I hope they didn't grow too much
And I pray you've felt my love across the miles
While I've been gone
You're all I've thought about
You're what keeps me on the ground
And makes me fly
And I've never been so thankful
For what I've got at home
While I've been gone
While I've been gone
I hunger for your touch
And I pray you've felt my love across the miles
While I've been gone
You're all I've thought about
You're what keeps me on the ground
And makes me fly
And I've never been so thankful
For what I've got at home
While I've been gone
While I've been gone
While I've been gone
Yeah, yeah
While I've been gone
It's hard to sleep without you to hold
And I hope I never get use to that
There's a picture that I keep on me
Of you and the kids smiling back at me
And it gets me thru the days til' I get back
I didn't know that I could miss you so bad
While I've been gone
I hope they didn't grow too much
And I pray you've felt my love across the miles
While I've been gone
You're all I've thought about
You're what keeps me on the ground
And makes me fly
And I've never been so thankful
For what I've got at home
While I've been gone
Baby, you're the wheels that keep this train
Right on track thru the wind and rain
And I'd hate to think of where I'd be without you
And I've gotten pretty good at tryin' not to
While I've been gone
I hope they didn't grow too much
And I pray you've felt my love across the miles
While I've been gone
You're all I've thought about
You're what keeps me on the ground
And makes me fly
And I've never been so thankful
For what I've got at home
While I've been gone
While I've been gone
I hunger for your touch
And I pray you've felt my love across the miles
While I've been gone
You're all I've thought about
You're what keeps me on the ground
And makes me fly
And I've never been so thankful
For what I've got at home
While I've been gone
While I've been gone
While I've been gone
Yeah, yeah
While I've been gone
