Pack the suitcase, bring a pillow
It's gonna be a long hard drive
A thousand miles from amarillo
I'll let the highway tuck you in tight

I watch you sleepin' in the backseat
I wonder if you'll know how hard I've tried
You deserve nothing less than happiness
But so do I

Twenty years from now
My prayer is that somehow
You'll forgive all my mistakes
And be proud of the choice I make
God, I hope I'm still around
Twenty years from now

I hope you know your daddy loves you
And it broke his heart to watch you leave
But he can't wrestle with his demons
And still have time for you and me

So twenty years from now
My prayer is that somehow
You'll forgive all my mistakes
And be proud of the choice I make
God, I hope I'm still around
Twenty years from now

Twenty years from now
My prayer is that somehow
You'll forgive all my mistakes
And be proud of the choice I made
I just wanna see that day
You tell me that I did okay
God, I hope I'm still around
Twenty years from now
