Story Behind The Song
Gypsy girl had no food, money, or place to stay, she had thumbed it all the way from NY, she said. we had an extra tent, gave her a sandwich, and a ride to town, never knew what happened to her. she told us her mom kicked her out, and she was on the way to CA. Wonder if she made it.

Lyrics
900 miles from home, that girl traveled alone. Never new just what she was running from, thats her story to tell. She threw us a name. that I'm sure was a lie. she just needed a place to lay her head, it was just for the night. and I wonder why:
It eats me inside
wondering if your alive
all those times that youve roamed
is there anyone at home?
I thought of you today, did you ever go home? Did you ever find what you were searching for, or are you roaming alone? I said a prayer for you today. Wonder if anybody heard. Suspects on the news, a Jane Doe was found, god I hope it wasn't you. and I wonder why:
it eats me inside
wondering if your alive
all those times that you roam
is there anyone at home?
what did you find, what do you hide, why do you lie, why are you so ashamed? and I wonder why:
it eats me inside
wondering if your alive
all those times that you roam
is there anyone at home?
