i thought i'd call you up to say hello
and tell you that i miss you and i wish that i were with you
but i guess i'm telling you something you already know
well how is california? it's raining here in nashville
did you tell your ol' mom and dad i said hello
i've already double-locked the door and i'm being careful
i just wished you'd hurry up and come on home
'cause i don't know if i can get myself asleep with you gone
you know we're always together and i don't know how to be alone
it's like life's not touchin' me and i'm just passing through
and now i realize how much you are me and i am you
oh nothing's really wrong
i just been working on that song so long
i don't know if i'll ever get it right
i drove out to the farm and the roof is almost on the barn
and i just sat and watched the cows a little while
and wondered if a farmer and a city dude could make it there with me and you
make that place feel like home and be glad with it someday
i know we've gotta settle down and quit our love this running 'round
and if that were you want to live with me then i guess it's ok
i'm just having a little trouble going to sleep with you gone
you know we're always together and i don't know how to be alone
it's like lives not touchin' me and i'm just passing through
and now i realize how much you are me and i am you
well it's bedtime mr. doodles
i guess i better say goodnight though i've had a busy day
yes i already double-locked the door and i'm being careful
this old house and i just wishing
will you come home and i can get myself to sleep with you gone
you know we're always together and i don't know how to be alone
it's like life's not touchin' me and i'm just passing through
and now i realize how much you are me and i am you
