Beeline

That worn out sandbox That old bulldog They're stained on my mind just as Clear as thick, white chalk One pair of headlights pierce straight Through the fog Back in a time when a mile was way Too long She said I'm on a beeline stay right Where you are Time's been a thief and now buddy Here we are I know the way home And know it's not far I'll wish on every one of my lucky stars That you stay where you are Grey as an ashtray She watched me grow up She helped me trade in tonka toys for Pickup trucks I moved out to Vegas It was what I thought it was And when I found myself off the rails, I had to call her up She said I'm on a beeline Stay right where you are Time's been a thief and now buddy Here we are I know the way home No, it's not far I'll wish on every one of my lucky stars That you stay where you are Life moves on now I have a little boy Of my own And we can't help but smile as we Watch him grow But yesterday while he and I played I Got a call That sent me racing back home Straight back home Mom I'm on the beeline Stay right where you are Time's been a thief And now momma here we are I know you know the way home And I know it's not far I'll wish on every one of my lucky stars That you stay where you are
