I packed my bags, you cried your eyes It doesn't get much easier to say goodbye I never called to get this right Always the same thing every time So here's a song for all of the times I never called much, you were on my mind I hope you know (I hope you know) When I'm out on the open road I count the days 'til I get home so we could be alone I've seen the mountains, lakes, the tall palm trees But they don't compare with what you mean to me You dropped me off for the door Tell her I can't do this anymore I kiss your head, I'm out the door I promise I'm worth waiting for I won't forget to charge my phone this time As long as you stay on the other line I hope you know (I hope you know) When I'm out on the open road I count the days 'til I get home so we could be alone I've seen the mountains, lakes, the tall palm trees But they don't compare with what you mean to me I know it feels like I'm a ghost when You're in the bedroom all alone and You've got our picture on the night stand Fell asleep with the TV on again So play this song at night when You're feeling left behind And if you swear to hold on tight then I'll be right by your side I hope you know (I hope you know) When I'm out on the open road I count the days 'til I get home so we could be alone I've seen the mountains, lakes, the tall palm trees But they don't compare with what you mean to me I count the days 'til I get home so we could be alone
