[Verse 1] You wake where the hills turn blue before dawn I wake with your name on the edge of the lawn Two towns and a long line of highway between Still you are the closest thing I have ever seen [Pre-Chorus] I keep your photograph beside the bed Your laugh is the first thing inside my head [Chorus] You are my sure thing, my truest sign The missing piece that fits in mine Though miles keep pulling our hands apart You live in the center of my heart No map can change what we both know You are my home wherever I go [Verse 2] You send me a letter with coffee-stained lines I read it beneath the old porch light Your little blue sweater hangs on my chair Like a promise that says you are almost there [Pre-Chorus] The calendar turns, but the answer stays I choose you again through the longest days [Chorus] You are my sure thing, my truest sign The missing piece that fits in mine Though miles keep pulling our hands apart You live in the center of my heart No map can change what we both know You are my home wherever I go [Bridge] When the wheels finally carry me west I will lay my head where your shoulder rests No grand parade, no need to explain Just your hand in mine after all this distance and rain [Final Chorus] You are my sure thing, my truest sign The missing piece that fits in mine Though miles kept pulling our hands apart You lived in the center of my heart Now every road has brought me home No more loving you through a telephone You are my home, my perfect match The one true love I was born to catch [Outro] Wherever my journey may carries me through Every far-off road leads me back to you
