If You Have To Go Away

When I was a youngerI used to dream a lotStaring into my coffeeAbout how you'd love meAnd write me poetryAnd want to be with me, yeahWell, momma done told meYou might wander far, yeahBut nobody warned meThe road would own your heartAnd so I'm sayingIf you have to go awayI will be waiting by the phoneAnd if you have to go awayI'll put your records onPretend you're still at homeNow that I'm olderI sit at home a lotWith the kid we've got, yeahThe radio's playingHe really loves his wifeI hear the D.J. sayingWell momma done told meYou might wander far, ohAs long as you hold meMore than you hold that guitarI'll keep on sayingIf you have to go awayI'll leave your shoes beside the bedAnd if you have to go awayI'll want to be with youI'll be with me insteadIf you have to go awayI won't be sleeping very wellBut if you have to go awayI'll be loving youTill it's cold in hellMaybe you'll write me this timeMaybe you'll call on a static lineSaying don't you ever worry your pretty mindCause you and me are gonna be fineAnd so I'm sayingIf you have to go awayI will be waiting by the phoneAnd if you have to go awayI'll put your records onPretend you're still at homeIf you have to go awayI'll leave your shoes beside the bedAnd if you have to go awayI'll want to be with youI'll be with me insteadIf you have to go awayI won't be sleeping very wellBut if you have to go awayI'll be loving youI'll be loving youIf you have to go away
