Jet fuel and traffic lines   Pulling up to the delta signs   Distant shape of my hometown   Black stain where the wheels touch down      I pick up the morning news   I pass the man who's never shined my shoes   Through security and to the train   That will take me to the aeroplane      Count the miles on the highway   The sum of all my days   There's a postcard, there's a call   And there's a picture for your bedroom wall      But do you ever wonder through and through?   Who's that person standing next to you?   And after all the nights apart   Is there a home for a traveling heart      But if I weren't leaving you   I don't know what I would do   But the more I go, the less I know   Will the fire still burn on my return?   Keep the path lit on the only road I know   Honey, all I know to do is go      A cup of coffee and my bags are packed   The same vow not to look back   Familiar emptiness inside   As the distances grow wide      And though I vow to memorize   The last look in your loving eyes   It's here dusk and there dawn   Oh it's like a curtain getting slowly drawn      But if I weren't leaving you   I don't know what I would do   But the more I go, the less I know   Will the fire still burn on my return?   Keep the path lit on the only road I know   Honey, all I know to do is go      But if I weren't leaving you   I don't know what I would do   But the more I go it seems the less I know   Will the fire still burn on my return   Keep the path lit on the only road I know   Honey, all I know to do is go
