Too Far from Texas (with Natalie Maines) [Remaster]

There's a plane, it's headed for London
24 hours more and he'll be on it
And I can't show my love, and I can't stop it
Ooh, I can't stop it

There's a house there, somebody's waiting
Somebody else's arms will wrap around him
In that moment, what will he think then
When I can't touch him?

Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
All that I really know is that he's goin'
Too far from Texas, too close to home

In a room just outside of Houston
That's where I spend my nights, trying to get through to him
He says he's comin' back in every letter
But he might never, no, he might never

Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
All that I really know is that he's goin'
Too far from Texas, too close to home

Does he know how long
I've waited for this love to come?
Does he know I'm holdin' on
And that won't change, no matter where he's gone?

Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
All that I really know is that he's goin'
Too far from Texas, too close to home

Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
All that I really know is that he's goin'
Too far from Texas, too close to home

Couldn't I, couldn't I wait
Couldn't he, couldn't he stay one more day?
Couldn't I, couldn't I wait
Couldn't he, couldn't he stay one more day?
