A lonely road, crossed another cold state line    Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find    While I recall all the words you spoke to me    Can't help but wish that I was there    Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah       Dear God, the only thing I ask of you    Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away    We all need that person who can be true to you    But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed    Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again oh no    Once again       There's nothing here for me on this barren road    There's no one here while the city sleeps    And all the shops are closed    Can't help but think of the times I've had with you    Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah       Dear God, the only thing I ask of you    Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away    We all need that person who can be true to you    But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed    Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again oh no    Once again      Some search, never finding a way    Before long, they waste away    I found you, something told me to stay    I gave in, to selfish ways    And how I miss someone to hold    When hope begins to fade      A lonely road, crossed another cold state line    Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find       Dear God, the only thing I ask of you    Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away    We all need that person who can be true to you    But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed    Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again oh no    Once again
