Daddy works hard as a traveling salesman
You know he's just gotta pay them bills, man
And momma don't work
Unless she's down at the church
Sister got herself a bachelor's degree
More than you can say about me
I'm feeling low
Out here on the road
It's been a long time since I started runnin', baby
Long time since I've seen you
Wish you woulda told me that you loved me this way
Forever's way too late
Could have been my baby
Pickin' it up and puttin' it down
Chasin' dreams around this broke down town
Now I need
A little time to breathe
I remember when you caught my eye
Ain't it funny how time flies by
But before long
I had to get gone
It's been a long time since I started runnin', baby
Long time since I've seen you
Wish you woulda told me that you loved me this way
Forever's way too late
Could have been my baby
Goodbye baby, goodbye home
Sorry for leavin' you on your own
Wish I could stay, just gotta go
Gotta keep, keep rollin' down that road
It's been a long time since I started runnin', baby
Long time since I've seen you
Wish you woulda told me that you loved me this way
Forever's way too late
Could have been my baby
You could have been my baby
