While I've Been Gone

Girl I'm sorry that the bed's been cold It's hard to sleep without you to hold And I hope I never get use to that There's a picture that I keep on me Of you and the kids smiling back at me And it gets me thru the days til I get back I didn't know that I could miss you so bad While I've been gone I hope they didn't grow too much And I pray you've felt my love across the miles While I've been gone You're all I've thought about You're what keeps me on the ground And makes me fly And I've never been so thankful For what I've got at home While I've been gone Baby you're the wheels that keep this train Right on track thru the wind and rain And I'd hate to think of where I'd be without you And I've gotten pretty good at tryin' not to While I've been gone I hope they didn't grow too much And I pray you've felt my love across the miles While I've been gone You're all I've thought about You're what keeps me on the ground And makes me fly And I've never been so thankful For what I've got at home While I've been gone While I've been gone I hunger for your touch And I pray you've felt my love across the miles While I've been gone You're all I've thought about You're what keeps me on the ground And makes me fly And I've never been so thankful For what I've got at home While I've been gone While I've been gone While I've been gone Yeah, yeah While I've been gone
