Mile marker ninety-two on forty goin` west
I`d been drivin` without rest the whole night through
I saw this little cardboard sign about to fade away
Made a tear roll down my face with just one line
Patsy come home
It said, Patsy come home
I bet a mother`s watchin` out a window
Or a lover`s waitin` by the phone
No matter who`s wrong
No matter what you`re runnin` from
Somebody`s tryin` to tell you they love you
Patsy come home
By Little Rock the rain was turnin` into snow
By now I`d prayed she`d gone back home again
I won`t forget for some time the hopeful kind of love
Or the desperation of that cardboard sign
It said
Patsy come home
It said, Patsy come home
I know a mother`s watchin` out a window
Or a lover`s waitin` by the phone
No matter who`s wrong
No matter what you`re runnin` from
Somebody`s trying to tell you they love you
Patsy come home
Somebody`s trying to tell you they love you
Patsy come home
