Lyrics

Verse 1
Another overnight stop in some place I don't know
It's been a few weeks now I feelin' pretty low
Seems like a lifetime ago since I packed my bags
Now I'm counting down the days till I'm headin 'back
On these lonely nights, they're always on my mind
I pray they understand somewhere down the line
I try not to worry when I'm gone
But these roads can be a livin' hell out here on your own

Chorus
It'll burn you up, Break you down
Turn your world inside out
Leave you lost in solitude
It's not a life that some would choose
The pay-check it helps me some
But I miss home

Verse 2
I've had close calls & breakdowns out on 66
Seen strangers takin' gambles cheatin' death just for kicks
Lot of Crazy people with traffic back to back
And dangers round the corners off the beaten track
I hope its all worth it but that don't make it right
I'm losing out on moments I can't replace in life
I've missed out on birthdays and anniversaries
I've been clocking up the miles, their making memories

Chorus
It'll burn you up, Break you down
Turn your world inside out
Leave you lost in solitude
It's not a life that some would choose
The pay-check it helps me some
But I miss home

Outro
Please don't forget me when I'm gone
It won't be long til I'm back where I belong
Cooking up a BBQ under the summer sun
Cheering on home runs, shooting hoops having fun
The smell of cornbread & sweet potato pie
Little things that bring a tear to my eye
The pay-check well it helps me some

Oh But I miss home
I miss home
I miss you & I miss home

i like this song alot

Man, this song hits a soft spot. Being on the road a lot makes you really appreciate what matters when you do round that bend and see home again. I can imagine professional musicians singing this from the heart on any stage.
