lyrics

My boy is 3000 miles away/Don't know what I could have said to make him stay/I can feel him reaching out for me/Got some things I wish he'd stuck around to see/ Got to know there's something more to this life/It's why he's travelling, he tells me to blow the hype/but if something happens to him on the rough/I'll never know the nirvana poets write of
The sky is hollerin The country's callin and I'm fallin for you coz you want me to
He steals my heart he leaves me speechless/Can't stand a liar but I can handle a thief/Not long ago I thought I shut the door/I didn't count on him managing to slip through/Luminity in his eyes is on my mind/It hangs around remind me I'm not too far behind/But 52 hours opf driving await between me and my boy /How long must we wait
The sky is hollerin the country's stalling and I'm callin for you...coz you want me to
Maybe a lover is a spirit that moves from man to man/ Don't wanna dig too deeply into Cupid's plans /But it makes sense the way it moves around/Maybe lookin for a lonely soul on solid ground/I'm done lookin and I don't mind the thought/ Seems like yer all about it, I don't mind getting caught/In a net without a rope off a boat without a sea/By a pirate without a ship who's been tryin to find me/ The sky is fallin, the country's callin, and I'm hollerin for you....Coz you want me to
