Story Behind The Song

Inspired by stories of myself and my actress friends running off to the big city...but never forgetting your true love.

Song Description

When a young girl runs off to the big city, she leaves her love behind on the farm. He promises her-- he won't forget.She makes a go of it, but thinks of him every night, in the big lonely city. When he calls, she asks him to come to her...but he can't le

He held her hand and put his on her pocket
Tucked his picture inside of her locket
Said miles between us damned if they'll mean a thing
So she packed up her bags and headed for the city
Far too young and far too pretty,
She held on to hope cause back home she had a king

And at night when it rained
She'd stare out the window pane,
Sit all alone and wait for his nine o'clock call

she said...

"I like it here fine,
But the one thing missing, is you
And baby I been thinking- I just gotta get back to all that I've known
She said "the weather's alright and the people are friendly,
But I get the feeling they just don't get me--
God I wish you were here to make it feel
A little like home...

She stayed for longer than just that summer the leaves started falling
She dialed his number..
Baby I like it here, why don't you like it here too
He said I've got the house, a good job on the farm
And much as I'd love to be where you are,
I promise -I'll come and visit real soon

And at night when it snowed she sat in the dark all alone
Wait for his nine o'clock call that sometimes she'd miss

she said...

"I like it here fine,
But the one thing missing is you
And baby I been thinking- I just gotta get back to all that I've known
She said "the weather's alright and the people are friendly,
But I get the feeling they just don't get me--....
God I wish you were here to make it feel
A little like home..."



All the distance, just made her miss him
And all the things that they had
It's hard to move on when half of you is gone
So she just kept lookin' back

To when he held her hand and put his on her pocket
Tucked his picture inside of her locket
Said "miles between us damned if they'll mean a thing"

So she packed up here bags and she turned in her key,
Boarded the last flight to Tennessee-
Sat on the front porch and said "this is where I should be"

Cause I liked it there fine but the one thing missing was you.
So baby I got to thinkin'- I just gotta get back to all that I've known
Cause the weather was fine and the people were friendly but I got the feeling they'd never get me ...like you

And back in your arms it feels........
A little like home...just like home
Like home...
