Verse 1:
I wish that you were here
Instead of far away
In the Mississippi sun
Well, baby, it's raining here
I heard your voice today
On a lifeless telephone
Your father says you're fine
Oh, I wish that I were home
Chorus:
I'll be with you, your feet in the grass
I'll be underway and coming in last
TO keep you on the ground
Verse 2:
Well, they say it's better now
What does "better" mean?
They say that you've grown
That you're catching up to me
Sometimes it kills the pain, but
Don't grow up to be
Escaping the past
On a lonely sea
REPEAT CHORUS
(Break)
REPEAT CHORUS
