Wait a minute, did I hear you say
You're goin' far away again?
Try to change it, I can't take
The lonely nights without your love
Do you want the road
To get the music done and move along?
What good does it do
Play your songs for her and hear her say?
Wait a minute, did I hear you say
You're goin' far away again?
Try to change it, I can't take
The lonely nights without your love
Rollin' along and life's been
Good to you but even so
She comes to you, late at night's
The time you hear her say once again
Wait a minute, did I hear you say
You're goin' far away again?
Try to change it, I can't take
The lonely nights without your love
Waitin' for you thirty days
And nights without a rest
I got to hold on, twenty-five to go
And once again or I'll hear her say
Wait a minute, did I hear you say
You're goin' far away again?
Try to change it, I can't take
The lonely nights without your love
Wait a minute, did I hear you say
You're goin' far away again?
Try to change it, I can't take
The lonely nights without your love
