Two a.m. 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
