Verse
Really wish you'd pick-up

Verse

I'd see you lying there
I could tell, you'd been cryin' in your sleep
Really gave me a shake-up

We can work this whole thing out
Here I am
Here I am

Here I am, callin' out from this old highway
Here I am, I just wanna make you see
Here I am, tryin' to make it home and I pray
That in spite of all our doubts
We can work this whole thing out
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
