Blanket

Take the fastest route home, honey I'll be here waiting up

The fire might be weak, but I'll keep it going with a little luck

On a night so cold you can almost see your prayers

I spent ten nights without you, eleven's one I can't bear

The dog's been running circles round the house each afternoon since you've been gone

Sometimes when I'm dreaming I pretend that I can feel you in my arms

But tonight I'll hear the tumblers turn and thank the lord for answering my prayers

If we never leave this bedroom, honey babe I don't care

Hangin on, to my phone, like a puppy to her toy

When you're gone, there's a blanket over the speakers playing my favorite song

My favorite song

My favorite song: My darlin's coming home

So heater high and windows down, honey, taste that cool night air

Crank up your speakers, let that country music drive you here

If you sing it out and mean it, it almost counts as prayer

When I hear the front door creakin' I can wake up from this nightmare

Hangin on, to each record here reminding me of you

When you're gone, there's a blanket over the speakers playin my favorite song

My favorite song

My favorite song: my darlin's coming home

Waking up I tell myself "Come on, you're gonna make it"

Then I count the hours until you're home

Something 'bout a bond this strong, it's difficult to break it

Thought I'd done with going to bed alone

Hangin on, to this pillow like a talisman of you

When you're gone, there's a blanket over the speakers playin my favorite song

My favorite song

My favorite song: my darlin's coming home

Oh there's a blanket over the speaker playin my favorite song

My darlin's coming home
