When I was younger
|
I used to dream a lot
|
Staring into my coffee
|
About how you'd love me
|
And write me poetry
|
And want to be with me, yeah
|
Well, Momma done told me
|
You might wander far, yeah
|
But nobody warned me
|
The road would own your heart
|
|
And so I'm saying
|
If you have to go away
|
I will be waiting by the phone
|
And if you have to go away
|
I'll put your records on
|
Pretend you're still at home
|
|
Now that I'm older
|
I sit at home a lot
|
With the kid we've got, yeah
|
The radio's playing
|
He really loves his wife
|
I hear the D.J. saying
|
Well Momma done told me
|
You might wander far, oh
|
As long as you hold me
|
More than you hold that guitar
|
I'll keep on saying
|
|
If you have to go away
|
I'll leave your shoes beside the bed
|
And if you have to go away
|
I'll want to be with you
|
I'll be with me instead
|
If you have to go away
|
I won't be sleeping very well
|
But if you have to go away
|
I will be loving you
|
Till it's cold in hell
|
|
Maybe you'll write me this time
|
Maybe you'll call on a static line
|
Saying don't you ever worry your pretty mind
|
Cause you and me are gonna be fine
|
|
And so I'm saying
|
If you have to go away
|
I will be waiting by the phone
|
And if you have to go away
|
I'll put your records on
|
Pretend you're still at home
|
|
If you have to go away
|
I'll leave your shoes beside the bed
|
And if you have to go away
|
I'll want to be with you
|
I'll be with me instead
|
If you have to go away
|
I won't be sleeping very well
|
But if you have to go away
|
I will be loving you
|
I will be loving you
|
If you have to go away
|
