[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
There's a table where they know each other's names
Telling stories about their small town football games
They look happy, at least from my point of view
I'm a stranger at a table meant for two
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm jealous of the birds, even they know where to go
Staring out windows, going places I don't know
No one's here to hold my hand if it all goes down
So would you say a little prayer for the man who's always out of town?
[Chorus]
Who's crying when I'm leaving?
Who's happy when my boots touch down?
Does anybody think about me when I'm not around?
Hopе I know it when I feel it
Is it crazy that it's all I want?
If home is wherе the heart is, tell me where my heart has gone
Gone
[Verse 2]
I've missed birthdays, couple weddings, and a funeral
And some first steps, I was told that they were beautiful
I'm ashamed, wanna crawl out my own skin
Been a no-show, brother, lover, son and friend
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm jealous of the birds, even they know where to go
Staring out windows, going places I don't know
I don't know
No one's here to hold my hand if it all goes down
So would you say a little prayer for the man who's always out of town?
[Chorus]
Who's crying when I'm leaving?
Who's happy when my boots touch down?
Does anybody think about me when I'm not around?
Hope I know it when I feel it
Is it crazy that it's all I want?
If home is where the heart is, tell me where my heart has gone
Gone
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
[Outro]
There's a painting at a thrift store down the street
Of a garden, with a woman hanging sheets
So I bought it and I'll carry it around
Till I find my place to settle down
