Jesse, go to sleep We're still a long way off I'm just filling Junior up at Texaco There's a schedule that we've got to keep And every time we're late, I think But every time we've made it to the show So don't you cry
See Aedan, he's alright He's laughing on the stage And the people stop and tell me that he's fine It's one more night at the Hampton Inn It's breakfast on the house again Well, it isn't home, but it'll do just fine Still, it isn't home
We've got planes to catch, bills to pay We won't make it home today We've got shows from Boston clear to Venus But if America is listening, as long as I've got songs to sing We can always make a home right here between us Well, your mama's got her eyes on you And mine are on the road And Gabe's are staring off at Kansas City We'd all swear that it's a precious view That's seen by such a precious few And it'll change you just as sure as it is pretty But that ain't a bad thing
CHORUS
Well I've never seen the spirit wind, but I have seen the tall grass bend So I'll follow it wherever it may bring us And as long as I've got songs to sing I hope somebody's listening 'Cause we can always find a home right here between us So don't you cry
