Lyrics
Verse 1
I left your coffee cooling by the screen doorOne hand on the wheel, one hand on my heartThe county line came up like it always doesAnd every mile just pulled us farther apart
Pre‑Chorus
I can laugh with the boys at the filling-station lightBut your name climbs up when the sun drops low
Chorus
I miss you when I’m with you, miss you when I’m goneMiss you in the middle of a brand-new songMiss you in a crowded room, miss you riding homeGirl, wherever I am, I’m missing you aloneHey, hey—missing you alone
Verse 2
Your blue shirt’s hanging off the bedroom chairStill holding the shape of the night we hadI hear your boots across the hardwood floorThen the house remembers you ain’t here, and that hurts bad
Pre‑Chorus
I can two-step circles till the jukebox quitsBut your kiss keeps turning every slow song on
Chorus
I miss you when I’m with you, miss you when I’m goneMiss you in the middle of a brand-new songMiss you in a crowded room, miss you riding homeGirl, wherever I am, I’m missing you aloneHey, hey—missing you alone
Bridge
If I could fold this highway like a letterI’d tuck it in your hand and drive no more’Cause the only place I ever stop runningIs with your fingers wrapped around mine at the door
Final Chorus
I miss you when I’m with you, miss you when I’m goneMiss you when the morning puts its work boots onMiss you in a crowded room, miss you riding homeGirl, wherever I am, I’m missing you aloneHey, hey—missing you aloneYeah, wherever I am, I’m missing you alone
Outro
I’m missing you aloneCome on home
