Baby I know that you’re tired of me
Leaving town on you
(For every traveling man)
Wishing that I didn’t have to go (and woman)
Do the things I do
I’ll be home in the morning and
I’ll spend some time with you
But I gotta go now
But I gotta go now

I know at times you may wonder
What have I signed up for
A romance with an invisible man on tour?
My baby just got home now he’s leaving again
Every time I pack my bags
You go from lip poked out to you need any help
Did you remember such and such when I leave out for the bus
I’m like dag man how can she be so understanding
Got you man feeling like a champion
Your smile still takes my breath away
Your love keeps me tender so I don’t go astray
Your voice is therapeutic when I’m thinking of breaking
I’ve got heaven right here on earth that’s why I’m saying

I remember when we first started out
Confusion from the past gave reason for doubt
Always taking time to pray instead of running away
Working through all my issues making you grab for the tissues
I promise to bless you with whatever I can
Bring you presents from the road cause I’m a traveling man
Yet you remind me that it cannot substitute for when I’m next to you
That’s why this kid is en route
Your smile – a reflection of the face of God
Your love – strengthening when the game gets hard
Your voice – speaks truth when I think I can’t make it
Sorry fellas, but the best one’s taken

Someday I will make it up to you
No more five in the morning
I will be all yours
You will be all mine
Gotta go
Gotta gotta go
