[Verse] I pack my bag and hit the road Another city another load A coffee stained map my only guide I’m chasing dollars while you bide [Chorus] Oh I’m homebound in my heart But the miles keep us apart Sorry I leave you all alone I swear one day I’ll stay home [Verse 2] The money’s good but it ain't gold It buys us heat when nights are cold But what’s the price of missing years Of stolen laughs and dried up tears [Prechorus] One more check one more mile One more month till I see your smile [Chorus] Oh I’m homebound in my heart But the miles keep us apart Sorry I leave you all alone I swear one day I’ll stay home [Bridge] Retire before I’m a ghost in a frame Before the road erases my name I’ll trade the grind for a rocking chair Your hand in mine we’ll meet time there
