 Gone
Too Long
(Lyrics by Brit)
He gets in the
truck to head up the coast
And waits for the freight to unload off the boat
He’s miles from home and he’s feelin’ alone
Each day he drives thru a different time zone
She wonders where he’s at and when he’ll be home
The kids are too young – not aware that he’s gone
She knows he’ll be gone a while pulling that haul
She worries each day waitin’ for his call
CHORUS
He says there must be more than this to life
Being gone this long from his kids and wife
He yearns for the days he’ll be home and close
Close to his family he misses the most
He stops at the dock awaitin’ the freight
The boat’s on-time – they’re unloadin’ the crates
He wants to get home to the life he craves
The lonesome of the road he’s got to face
CHORUS
She’s lonely but
strong and for him she yearns
Life’s tough, she knows, with its twists and turns
Then she gets the call that will change their lives
She never got the chance to tell him goodbye
She takes the kids as they lay their wreaths
They feel so alone wrapped up in their grief
In her heart she knows he’s in heaven above
Where one day they’ll reunite
and again share their love
In her heart she knows he’s in heaven above
Where one day they’ll reunite and again share their love
