verse 1
(the intro is played whilst the second guitar plays the verses)
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those i love
Purpose hard to find
While i recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
Chorus
Dear God the only thing i ask of you
Is to hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And Now I wish I'd stayed
Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again, oh no
Once again...
Verse 2
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
And all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories
Will have to help me through, oh yeah
PLAY CHORUS AGAIN
Middle
Well some search
Never finding a way
Before long
They waste away
I found you
Something told me to stay
I gave in
To selfish ways
And how i miss someone to hold
When hope begins to fade

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
