Took a ride on a train, and I've been gone a long time
A telephone call sent me away
And I've been gone a long time.


I saw the light come through my window
It's been a while since my last beer.

Took a ride on a plane, and I've been gone a long time
A scrap of paper sent me away
And I've been gone a long time.

Your smiling eyes walked through my front door
God I'm so glad, glad that you're here.

Your crying eyes walked out my front door
God I'm so sad, sad you're not here.
