I thought that leavin' you

Was what I had to do

That town was just too small

For someone with big dreams

But these city side walks and busy streets

Ain't what I thought they'd mean to me, hell

I ain't had one good night sleep

There's not a second that I ain't missing you

Your smiling face or your baby blues

My heart keeps telling me it's time

For me to get back to you



I'm taking the high road back to the place

Where there are mountains and wide open space

Get back to where there's everything I love

Cause it's all wrong what we're going through

I'd give my soul to hear those crickets sing

Hold you on your Mama's porch swing

Kiss you down by Miller's Lake

Like the time when we first met

There's not a heartbeat I ain't been missing you

Your smiling face or those baby blues

My heart keeps telling me it's time

For me to get back to you



I'm taking the high road back to the place

And get back to where there's everything I love

Cause it's all wrong what we're going through

I've been to hell and back without you

Yeah we're meant to be, honey you and me

Now it's time to make things right

Get me back in your life



I can't take no more missing you

Your smiling face or those baby blues

Tonight I'll drive 'til I cross that line

For me to get back to you



I'm taking the high
