Missing you as I would do,<\/p>\n
Letting old acoustic guitar stir awake<\/p>\n
Long, slow sweet memories of country driving,<\/p>\n
Your voice in my ear, low and husky with sleep<\/p>\n
As a quiet counterpoint memory playing accompaniment<\/p>\n
While country miles whistle by.<\/p>\n
Slipstream wind coasting through an open window,<\/p>\n
Coming home to a place I’ve never driven,<\/p>\n
But in a primal way it hasn’t been forgotten,<\/p>\n
The smell of morning dew on lightly damp earth,<\/p>\n
Fresh green and nodding starburst morning glories<\/p>\n
On rusted fences, and though I’m driving home,<\/p>\n
It’s to you that I want to drive back to, and<\/p>\n
There are miles and miles between us,<\/p>\n
You’re home to me, the long road back home.<\/p>\n
