How many miles must I travel

before I find my way back home.

How many women must I love
before I find myself alone.

Give me enough time to grab my things and go
Just another shadow as I run out the door.

I never asked for someone who really said she cared.
I never wanted to fall in love and I know your not prepared.

You'll find flowers and a note by your warm soft bed
Take all the time in the world baby and get me out of your head.

I have a journey and it started the day I took this path before me
full of dangerous days and so many ways I lost my vision and I cant see

Staying with me is wrong and staying with me will only bring you more pain
Swallow tears and swallow your pride and dont expect to see me again

One thing I can say that I truly have only one regret.
you son called me daddy once so I hope somehow he can forget.

The world is harder now and a child has got to be tough
Mothers have to be stronger and never give up when things get rough

Summer is almost here and I have to be on my way.
You'll find true happiness and I hope you find true love one summer day.

Goodby and maybe I will remember you when I lay down
under a great big sky on the cold hard ground.

My path is clear to me now and the road calls me by my name.
once in awhile remember me with a smile and I will surely do the same.
