lyrics
Verse 1
Hey, baby, don’t you look good standing there by my window
I feel like I’m falling, if you love me, darling, then let it show
I try to please you, you change like the North wind blows
You don’t know me if you think I’ll let you go
Chorus
I will hold you close when you’re far away
and I’ll stay with you ’till they dig my grave
When your shoulder’s cold and your heart is black
I’ll be that homebound highway that brings you back
Verse 2
Let’s forget all the venomous words echoing from the slamming doors
Silence all the whispers, baby, I’m the one you’ve been looking for
You give me a feeling I have never felt before
Please don’t keep me waiting, I don’t want to fight anymore
Chorus
I will hold you close when you’re far away
and I’ll stay with you ’till they dig my grave
When your shoulder’s cold and your heart is black
I’ll be that homebound highway that brings you back
Bridge
There will be times when the weight of the world lies heavy on your back
I’ll be your rock when the stone that we built our house on starts to crack
Chorus
I will hold you close when you’re far away
and I’ll stay with you ’till they dig my grave
When your shoulder’s cold and your heart is black
I’ll be that homebound highway that brings you back
