Lyrics
One More Week
VERSE 1:
6 weeks aways, 6,000 miles,
Another hotel room.
Well I hope to see you soon,
Without you, all these places look the same.
Drivin all night through that midnight sun, Like a freight train.
And we'll push right on through this rain,
Cause...
CHORUS:
It's been so long since I've been gone,
Running round in circles all alone.
So sick of staring at this telephone,
One more week and I'll be home.
VERSE 2:
All these days, all these nights,
All these miles seem so long.
This morning coffee tastes so strong,
I saw the paper, I read the news.
I don't believe a word there writing,
They're sayin we got the blues,
Well that ain't true,
But we are East bound and down,
Cause...
CHORUS:
It's been so long since I've been gone,
Running round in circles all alone.
So sick of staring at this telephone,
One more week and I'll be home.
One more week and I'll be home.
One more week and I'll be home.
One more week and I'll be home.
VERSE 3:
I count the rest stops down the road,
Until I hear you call.
I swear we'll settle down next fall.
I know, It seems so far away.
Driving through Kansas,
We met with the Wolf of Wichita.
His BTK tattoo really says it all,
Cause...
CHORUS:
It's been so long since I've been gone,
Runnin round in circles all alone.
So sick of staring at this telephone,
One more week and I'll be home.
So sick of staring at this telephone,
One more week and I'll be home.
One more week and I'll be home.
One more week and I'll be home.
One more week and I'll be home.
