Promises don’t count for much they just lay on the floor
You know I’ve been down there many times before
If you think I'm joking just look into my eyes
& If this is a competition you are my first prize
Oh how I long to be home
But I'm out here on the road
Another town another show
And each day brings me closer to the end
A little bit closer to you
Chorus:
They’ve got ways to ease my mind
Yeah & if it ain't working I’ll be drinking all the time
Might say I'm crazy yeah you might just be right
But singing ain’t the only thing I'll do
Seven days, seven days from you
Conversations don’t mean as much when you’re talking on the phone
Yeah & I’ve been thinking way too much I don’t even know
One last night one last show one more song
If I sing it loud enough will you hear me when I’m gone
Oh how I long to be home
But I'm out here on the road
Another town another show
And each day brings me closer to the end
A little bit closer to you
Chorus:
They’ve got ways to ease my mind
Yeah & if it ain't working I’ll be drinking all the time
Might say I'm crazy yeah you might just be right
But singing ain’t the only thing I'll do
Seven days, seven days from you
Traveling down the road
A million miles from home
A million miles to go
Soon I’m coming home so won't you leave the light on for me
Chorus:
They’ve got ways to ease my mind
Yeah & if it ain't working I’ll be drinking all the time
Might say I'm crazy yeah you might just be right
But singing ain’t the only thing I'll do
Seven days, seven days from you
