She said those eighteen wheels have been parked in the driveway
For seven days and I know what the means
By the time that I wake up tomorrow morning
You´ll already be halfway to New Orleans

She said I´ll try to pass time till you come back
Put another quarter on the railroad track
Keep my ear out here by the phone
I´ll keep your toothbrush out by mine
Keep your flannel shirt out on the line
Anything to make me feel I´m not alone
Till you come home, home, home

She said can´t wait to hear that air horn in the distance
Telling me you´re just one mile away
I´ll have your favorite lava beans out on the burner
And this bluegrass skirt will wash your blues away

And she said I´ll try to pass time till you come back

Put another quarter on the railroad track
Keep my ear out here by the phone
I´ll keep your toothbrush out by mine
Keep your flannel shirt out on the line
Anything to make me feel I´m not alone
Till you come home, home, home

And she said I´ll try to pass time till you come back
Put another quarter on the railroad track
Keep my ear out here by the phone
I´ll keep your toothbrush out by mine
Keep your flannel shirt out on the line
Anything to make me feel I´m not alone
Till you come home, home, home
