    \n      Racing Home To You<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t bother to ring the doorbell.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key is under the mat, as usual.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pray that you are doing well.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go right in & make yourself comfortable.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not there, due to circumstances beyond my control.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll explain all when I\u2019m home as well.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remote is in its pouch.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get a cold beer out of the fridge.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make yourself at home on the couch.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have been gone a long, long time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My heart has ached every minute you were away.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without you here, I\u2019ve been pretty much a grouch.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am on the road, racing home to you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not being there has left me blue.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want you to know my love has been true.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I am racing home to you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This old truck won\u2019t go fast enough.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been so long, I can hardly wait<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life without you has been real rough.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope & pray you are really home to stay.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hurting is almost over for us.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You back in my arms will be enough.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know when you left, you had to go.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I only prayed that you would return.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it\u2019s here & I want you to know.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would of given anything to be there now.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, things happen & it just couldn\u2019t be.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be there before the sun dips low.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am on the road racing home to you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not being there has left me blue.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want you to know my love has been true.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I am racing home to you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
