Lyrics
Verse 1
Your boot prints gone from my porchStill warm in the morning lightYour coffee ring on the tableAnd your red coat by my sideI drive past that same old riverPast the fence and the cotton rowsStill swear I hear your laughterWhere the mesquite wind blows
Pre‑Chorus
I tried to play it toughTried to let it goBut every road in TexasTakes me back to you, you know
Chorus
I miss you like a freight trainI miss you like rain on glassCome back, come back, babyI can't outlast this halfI miss you like a home fireThat won't go out for longCome back, come back, babyWhere you belong (where you belong)
Verse 2
Your denim jacket's on the chairLike you just stepped out the doorYour name still hangs in the hallwayLike boots across that hardwood floorI laugh with my friends on SaturdayBut the silence cuts me cleanYou were my sweetest troubleNow you're just a burned-in dream
Pre‑Chorus
I tried to play it toughTried to let it goBut every road in TexasTakes me back to you, you know
Chorus
I miss you like a freight trainI miss you like rain on glassCome back, come back, babyI can't outlast this halfI miss you like a home fireThat won't go out for longCome back, come back, babyWhere you belong (where you belong)
Bridge
If you hear my voice tonightOn the wind across the lineTurn around at that old county signAnd let me be your lifeI'll meet you where the highway bendsWith my heart out in my handsI'll still be standing hereIf you still want this land
Chorus
I miss you like a freight trainI miss you like rain on glassCome back, come back, babyI can't outlast this halfI miss you like a home fireThat won't go out for longCome back, come back, babyWhere you belong (where you belong)
