Lyrics

[Chorus]

So far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Doesn't help to know you're just time away

[Chorus]

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood

Holding you again could only do me good

How I wish I could

But you're so far away

[Verse 1]

One more song about moving along the highway

Can't say much of anything that's new

If I could only work this life out my way

I'd rather spend it being close to you

[Chorus]

But you're so far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Doesn't help to know you're so far away

Yeah, you're so far away

[Verse 2]

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely

Nothin' else to do but close my mind

I sure hope the road don't come to own me

There's so many dreams I've yet to find

[Chorus]

But you're so far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

And it doesn't help to know you're so far away

Yeah, you're so far away

Hey, you're so far away
