2 am in Austin, that truck stop looks promising   But don't they all   That Silver Eagle's slowing down   Maybe there'll be time enough to call      I don't want to wake him but if I wait later then   I'll miss my chance   I just want to hear his voice   I've just got to know he understands      I send my love across the line   The road leads back to us   Until then I send my love across the line   I wish that I could be there to show him      That he is where I'd rather be   But for now these words along the wire   Will have to take the place of me   I wonder if we ever know      The reasons why we take the roads   That drive us on   When all that really matters   Are the ones we always leave behind at home      I send my love across the line   The road leads back to us   Until then I send my love across the line   The road leads back to us   Until then I send my love across the line
